Hi I don't really know if it is a bug, but the problem occurs when you a DNS is used, and when a node must be reachable from two different networks but with the same name on both networks; in this case, the gethostbyname() returns (from DNS) more than one adress for a Node name. So it seems that this leads to set the Node Name in cluster.conf as an IP addr. OK ? So, the bug is perhaps more to have to launch cman service with a specific syntax and no more by "service cman start" ... the cman start should manage by itself the two modes for node name in cluster.conf : name or IP addr. Do you agree ? Thanks Regards Alain >>Well, it's nasty but it worked for me.
