You're going to first need to set up the cluster that you created in RHDB
Admin (to do so, go to File->Add Cluster ... see 1. below for more info).

Just to clarify, RHDB Admin isn't written in Java and thus does not need a
JRE (RHDB Explain, however, does).

This seems okay for both Unix socket and TCP/IP communications from your
local machine(s).

This was one of the two test platforms so it should work just fine.

For more info on RHDB Admin (and the rest of the RHDB suite), please refer
to 2. below.

Also, inquiries about RHDB should probably be sent (or at least CC'd) to
rhdb@sources.redhat.com (see 3. below for more info).

Good luck,
