Well, thanks for your help thus far. I'm going to keep plugging away. I "seem to remember" that when I originally tested the config, I'd unplug the Ethernet from 1 box and the other would take about a minute before it determined that it had "missed too many heartbeats".

No, if it's blade servers the only network connectivity that you have is via the blade's management ports. A lot of chassis give you 2 network connections tho (the egenera & IBM that I've used both do) - but I can understand the physical limitations. :) > One thing on the heartbeats: the message log says "missed too many > heartbeats".

Not guilty I'm afraid - I've had to stop playing with clustering at the moment due to looking for a new job :) -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
