Here are the packages that are installed that I can find. I inherited this system so I am not sure if everything is installed. rgmanager-2.0.46-1.el5 cman-2.0.98-1.el5_3.7 Cluster_Administration-en-US-5.2-1 modcluster-0.12.1-2.el5 system-config-cluster-1.0.55-1.0 This cluster I believe was designed to be a failover. Here is what clustat tells me [root@a0040slinuxgfs1 ~]# clustat Cluster Status for LinuxCluster @ Fri Jan 29 12:12:02 2010 Member Status: Quorate Member Name ID Status ------ ---- ---- ------ a0040slinuxgfs1 1 Online, Local, rgmanager a0040slinuxgfs2 2 Online, rgmanager Service Name Owner (Last) State ------- ---- ----- ------ ----- service:Virtual Server a0040slinuxgfs1 started This is a gig network so bandwidth should not be an issue I believe. Please inform me on the heartbeat since I very new at this. Raymond -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dirk H.

And what kind of two node cluster do you have? What software packages have you set up already? This is RedHat cluster suite, and it uses a fairly complex cluster communication. If your cluster communication and all other communication use the same network/nics, you might run into trouble if "other communication" uses up your network bandwidth.
