Hi all, we are trying to set up a cluster between two IBM BladeCenter servers. I have read the documentation numerous times, and searched the list archives, but I have not yet found a clear explanation of all the concepts of the clustering solution. At the moment it almost works.. except the most important part, the actual takeover. What works: * nodes A and B are online * service is running on node A * cluster services on node A are stopped (eg. clean shutdown of node A) * service is restarted on node B What doesn't work: * nodes A and B are online * service is running on node A * node A fails (eg. powercut) * service is not restarted on node B.. Node B tries to fence node A, but this stalls. The service hangs at "stopping" in system-config-cluster. This seems to be the same problem as Theodorus (theo@xxxxxxxxx) was experiencing (see post <TKDNET9mK6PYzDabigP000000e6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> on March 21 2006), but I haven't found follow-ups to that message. Our environment: 2 x Xeon Blade, RHEL 4.3 x86_64, Bladecenter fencing Any pointers to a solution or to what I'm doing wrong are greatly appreciated!
