Try the following steps: 1) disable iptables 2) add <logging debug="on"/> before <clusternodes> 3) try to start the cluster with: "/etc/init.d/cman start join" if it still fails, then please collect all the logs from /var/log/cluster. Point 3 is to break the init script at cman startup time. There is no point to load everything else if cman doesn´t work. If the cluster starts, then verify with "cman_tool status" and "cman_tool nodes" that the nodes can see each other and then you can simply execute again "service cman start" to start all the other cluster components.
