Nope, no packets between the two nodes. This tells me that they cannot communicate. -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nikolas Lam Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 7:58 PM To: linux clustering Subject: Re: Two-node setup Help (RHES5) On Thu, 2007-09-20 at 15:45 -0400, Ozarchuk, John D wrote: > Hi all, > > > > I am trying to configure a two-node cluster that will simple be NFS, > FTP, and SMB fileshares.

Maybe it's overkill, but it's pretty straight-forward to check whether each of your nodes is receiving multicast cluster packets from the other node using tcpdump. Assuming you've got everything on eth0 and your other node's IP address is 192.168.1.100 you would use (with root privs) tcpdump -v -nn -i eth0 ip multicast and src 192.168.1.100 You should see some packets from your other node sent to the default cluster multicast group IP address, which is probably 225.0.0.11.
