The third, which has the same cluster.conf file is now waiting for fence_tool cluster quorum. This node however is now in the cluster but the others don't see it or join. I'm also getting this lockfile error; Failed to create lockfile. Hint: ccsd is already running. Timed-out waiting for cluster fence_tool: cluster is not active clvmd could not connect to cluster manager Consult syslog for more information No volume groups found mount: special device /dev/vgcomp/rimfire does not exist (I'm aware of the missing volume, working on the cluster first).
