If you install a legacy (1.x) style cluster, there shouldn't be anything 
like this.

If you upgrade to a CRM-managed cluster, there are lots of things which 
need to be taken care of.  Andrew has documented how to convert your 
haresources file over to R2, and we even provided a tool (probably 
undocumented).

I'm not sure if we've documented a live cutover procedure for this 
conversion to a CRM-managed (r2-style) cluster yet.  Andrew?
