Here's a guess at what you might be seeing. The behaviour that you are seeing looks like it could be caused by not having the correct magma plugins. In the cluster/magma/tests directory there is a cluster plugin test program, cpt, run # cpt null if you get something like Connect failure: Operation not permitted then either cman isn't running on the node, or magma cannot connect to it. If cman is running correctly (check you logs) Then look in /usr/lib/magma/plugins. You should have a sm.so file there. If not, you need to install the magma plugins, which are located in /cluster/magma-plugins. -Ben > What can I do? > Where can I find a little explanation of the cluster.xml file ? > > > Thanks, > Christian > > -- > > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
