Hello, I hope I'm sending to the correct list. I'm having problems starting up gfs, and hopefully it's just something incorrect with my configuration. For the sources, I checked out the latest of: device-mapper LVM2 cluster from cvs -d :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/cluster for the kernel sources, I'm using a vanilla 2.6.8.1 kernel, so I had to update the cluster/*kernel from old versions. (this may be my problem) The kernel built and installed fine. The kernel modules load fine. root # modprobe dm-mod root # device-mapper/scripts/devmap_mknod.sh root # modprobe gfs root # modprobe lock_dlm Lock_Harness <CVS> (built May 1 2005 15:31:12) installed GFS <CVS> (built May 1 2005 15:30:54) CMAN <CVS> (built May 1 2005 14:54:13) NET: Registered protocol family 30 DLM <CVS> (built May 1 2005 14:54:32) udev[5023]: creating device node '/dev/dlm-control' Lock_DLM (built May 1 2005 15:31:03) Then I try to startup the daemons root # route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth0 root # ccsd -V ccsd DEVEL.1114967270 (built May 1 2005 13:07:54) Copyright (C) Red Hat, Inc. 2004 All rights reserved. root # ccsd Starting ccsd DEVEL.1114967270: May 1 16:02:38 localhost ccsd[5035]: Built: May 1 2005 13:07:54 May 1 16:02:38 localhost ccsd[5035]: Copyright (C) Red Hat, Inc. 2004 All rights reserved. root # cman_tool -V cman_tool DEVEL.1114967270 (built May 1 2005 13:07:59) Copyright (C) Red Hat, Inc. 2004 All rights reserved. root # cman_tool -d join selected nodename blade1 multicast address 224.0.0.0 if eth0 for mcast address 224.0.0.0 setup up interface for address: blade1 cman: CMAN DEVEL.1114967270 (built May 1 2005 20:17:15) started root # cman: Waiting to join or form a Linux-cluster cman: forming a new cluster cman: quorum regained, resuming activity root # clvmd -V Cluster LVM daemon version: 2.01.10-cvs (2005-04-04) Protocol version: 0.2.1 root # clvmd clvmd could not connect to cluster manager Consult syslog for more information root # syslog | tail -1 Unable to connect to cluster infrastructure after 60 seconds (there are many of these) so from here I tried to startup ccsd and cman from my other blade.
