Bob, mate, you've done it. Obv. Had to be a network related issue and I should've thought of it since I was getting nada on svr00 when I tried capturing packets from svr01. Didn't know what parameter to change. Needed to reboot the machine and manually start the services but it's now happy I think. I'm pretty sure the bonded Ethernet interfaces support multicast. Not sure why it's getting rejected. My iptables and selinux are both disabled by default during install. BTW, What's the consequence of my removing the multicast address? Will it have a consequence in using DLM? Does it do Broadcast by default? Ok, so guess I'll move down the list of steps to get this moving with resources and services. I'm assuming I can have an active-active two node cluster?

Perhaps you can try it without the line: <multicast addr="224.0.0.1" interface="bond0"/> In your cluster.conf.
