Ocfs2 users - Jul 2008 - "Propagate Configuration" missing

I've been attempting to follow the instructions in the "Oracle Cluster 
File System (OCFS2) User's Guide" to setup an ocfs2 volume.  I'm
managed
to create an iSCSI volume shared by two different systems and have tried 
running the ocfs2console on both.  However, regardless of the system 
that I run the console on, there is not an option to "Propagate 
Configuration" after I've defined the member nodes.

Additionally, I found that I had to format the volume manually outside 
the ocfs2console before it would show in the list.  This is not covered 
in the User Guide. It appears to assume that all actions will be taken 
within the GUI, but how can one configure the volume if it's not listed?

# cat /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf
node:
	ip_port = 7777
	ip_address = 192.168.3.6
	number = 0
	name = vm06
	cluster = ocfs2

node:
	ip_port = 7777
	ip_address = 192.168.3.7
	number = 1
	name = vm07
	cluster = ocfs2

cluster:
	node_count = 2
	name = ocfs2

What distro, kernel, packges versions, etc?

Check the requirements for the console.  You could be missing a package that
enables propagate config.

While not specifically listed there, it appears that python-vte was the 
needed package.  Noticed it while ensuring that vte was installed.

Thank you.
