Hi, RHEL 5.2 32bit kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5PAE kmod-gfs-0.1.23-5.el5 gfs2-utils-0.1.44-1.el5_2.1 gfs-utils-0.1.17-1.el5 cman-2.0.84-2.el5 kmod-gfs2-PAE-1.92-1.1.el5 kmod-gfs2-1.92-1.1.el5 kmod-gfs-PAE-0.1.23-5.el5 rgmanager-2.0.38-2.el5 I have a 4 node cluster. All I want to use is GFS so that each node can read/write to the same directory. I don't want failover. I want to enable as few cluster daemons as possible. Here is my cluster.conf <?xml version="1.0"?> <cluster alias="TEST" config_version="14" name="TEST"> <fence_daemon post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/> <clusternodes> <clusternode name="fintestapp1" nodeid="1" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="dummy"/> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="fintestapp2" nodeid="2" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="dummy"/> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="fintestapp3" nodeid="3" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="dummy"/> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="fintestapp4" nodeid="4" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="dummy"/> </fence> </clusternode> </clusternodes> <cman/> <fencedevices> <fencedevice agent="fence_manual" name="dummy"/> </fencedevices> <rm> <failoverdomains/> <resources/> </rm> </cluster> Here' is the output of cman_tool services: type level name id state fence 0 default 00010001 none [1 3 4] dlm 1 clvmd 00020001 none [1 3 4] dlm 1 GFS1 00040001 none [1 4] dlm 1 rgmanager 00010003 none [1 3 4] Here is the output of cman_tool status: Version: 6.1.0 Config Version: 14 Cluster Name: TEST Cluster Id: 1198 Cluster Member: Yes Cluster Generation: 496 Membership state: Cluster-Member Nodes: 7 Expected votes: 6 Total votes: 4 Quorum: 4 Active subsystems: 9 Flags: Dirty Ports Bound: 0 11 177 Node name: fintestapp4 Node ID: 4 Multicast addresses: 239.192.4.178 Node addresses: 192.168.10.68 As you can see Expected votes is 6 while Total votes is 4 - whats wrong here ? I would like confirmation that my cluster.conf is adequate please because after a few reboots last week expected votes and total votes give unexpected results. If any more info is needed, please ask.
