Thanks for the help, Eric. Its interesting that you mentioned taking down cman BEFORE taking the interfaces down, because when I was testing my failover I did: ifdown bond0. My thinking was that the heartbeat would die and everything would work. It didn't occur to me that it would mess up cman - do you think that's what's doing it? Should I instead just pull the cables? (I'm asking because it's a long drive to the site just for the test, but will if you think that's the problem).

(Mine is set to stop cman at 79 and network at 90.) If you want to reset cman's startup/shutdown scripts back to their default settings, use "chkconfig --del cman", and then "chkconfig --add cman".
