I've written a short web page on the differences between the 'old' in-kernel cman (in the RHEL4 & STABLE branches) and the 'new' userspace openAIS-based cman. http://people.redhat.com/pcaulfie/cmanccs.html This isn't a tutorial on CCS or cluster.conf, it just outlines what is different between the two. The only non-forwards compatible bit is that the userland version needs nodeids assigning. ccs_tool now has a subcommand to do this for you. -- patrick -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
