Steve, In what order are you currently bringing them up? The client (non-lock master) servers will wait for 600s (default timeout) until a master lock server is available to handle the locking. If one becomes available in that time frame lock_gulmd will start. If one does not become available the lock_gulmd process will time out based on the aforementioned value and the cluster won't be able to start. If all 3 servers are down you should likely power on the lock server and then a moment later power on the client (GFS mounting) servers.

If I bring them up one at a time, the first server will hang waiting to start lock_gulmd. What's the best way to do this, and the best order? Should I bring them up in single user mode first and then start the services manually?
