activation_mode=exclusive clarification

Step 1 incorrectly uses "exclusive=true" in the description. This should be "activation_mode=exclusive", which is used correctly in the code block.

"activation_mode=exclusive" is the default value and does not need to be specified at all. Additionally, vg_access_mode=system_id and vg_access_mode=tagging force exclusive activation. So while it's fine to be explicit, it's unnecessary for those two reasons.

Comment 1 Reid Wahl 2018-12-20 03:56:55 UTC 
There is at least one other instance of this (in Chapter 5).
Comment 2 Reid Wahl 2018-12-20 03:58:05 UTC 
The instance in Chapter 5 also includes the incorrect parameter within the command.
Comment 3 Steven J. Levine 2019-02-26 19:30:31 UTC 
This is actually fixed in the latest version of the document:

https://doc-stage.usersys.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/configuring_and_managing_high_availability_clusters/#proc_configuring-resources-for-http-server-in-a-cluster-configuring-ha-http

But the second procedure has not been updated so I'm leaving this open until I can address that.

In the meantime I'm moving this to MODIFIED to indicate that we are working on this.
Comment 4 Steven J. Levine 2019-03-01 16:06:58 UTC 
This is being addressed in this BZ as well:
