Britt, Thanks a million for your help. You got me to look at what was wrong. I changed my hosts file to look the same as the cluster.css and nodes.css file and I still didn't see all three servers on the gulm_tool nodelist. I went back and looked at my hosts file and saw that I also called localhost the same as the hostname. I removed the entry and left localhost.localdomain localhost and checked again. IT WORKS!!! ... :) I've sucessfully mounted the shares on all servers and created object on the shares it all works. Again, thanks for the help. Love these groups... :) Sincerely, -- Magnus Andersen Systems Administrator / Oracle DBA Walker & Associates, Inc. -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
