Using lsof I discovered that ccsd wants to bind to TCP port 50008 (amongst others) This port was being used by apache/MySQL, so restart apache and bingo! I now have a working 3 node cluster..... A lot of clever people have contributed to GFS for free and I would like thank all who have done so...

Cluster.conf look like this: .... <clusternode name="brik3-gfs" votes="1" nodeid="7"> <fence> <method name="single"> <device name="brik3-rac"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> </clusternodes> <fencedevices> ... <fencedevice name="brik3-rac" agent="fence_ilo" hostname="10.9.255.66" login="root" passwd="xxxxx"/> </fencedevices> The hostname of this system is brik3, but I want ccsd to use bond1 which has address 172.16.1.60. /etc/hosts contains 172.16.1.60 brik3-gfs The directory /var/run/cluster exists with permissions 755 so root should be able to create a socket. Iptables is not running. I cannot easily change the hostname which used bond0 I guess I've made a small mistake, please could someone put me right?
