   The distribution process starts immediately. Depending on the size of the cluster, this process may take several minutes or more. Allow it to complete.

   The parcel status changes to Distributed.

5. Click Activate for the pdso parcel.

   The activation process starts immediately. Depending on the size of the cluster, this process may take several minutes or more. Allow it to complete.
