Dear list, I'm trying to set up RHCS and GFS in a cluster which has two network memberships, one is internal (eth0, 10.1.0.0/16, dns-names: host.local), the other external (eth1, our real-world subnet and dns names). Every cluster node has these two interfaces and related ip-numbers in both networks. When I set up the RHCS and GFS on the local subnet, everything works fine (ccsd, cman, clvmd, ... and also gfs mountable volumes). But if I try to change cluster.conf to use the real-world addresses (I want to use the gfs volumes also outside of the cluster), clvmd always makes problems. I followed the faq and changed /etc/init.d/cman to connect with -n host.external.dns.com. All hosts are in /etc/hosts. ccsd starts well on all clients, as does cman and fenced. But when I try to start the clvmd service on all nodes simultaneously, I get errors (Starting clvmd: clvmd startup timed out). This is what my /proc gives me: [root@dtm ~]# cat /proc/cluster/services Service Name GID LID State Code Fence Domain: "default" 11 2 run - [8 7 6 5 4 3 2 9 10 11 1] DLM Lock Space: "clvmd" 14 3 join S-6,20,11 [8 7 6 5 4 3 2 9 10 11 1] [root@compute-0-1 ~]# cat /proc/cluster/services Service Name GID LID State Code Fence Domain: "default" 11 2 run - [2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 8 11 1] DLM Lock Space: "clvmd" 14 3 update U-4,1,1 [2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1] (the second output I get from all the other nodes, I think it depends on which host i start the service first on) Has anybody an idea how clvmd communicates to each other? cman is doing fine... any other experiences? Thanks for any advice... Regards, Sebastian -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
