Hi, Indeed, I tried configuring fence devices but no success. Iptables are disabled, and even multicast was replaced by broadcat in the cluster.conf with no success. I can ping the 255.255.255.255 from each cluster node, and I can see the traffic originated from both nodes when tcpdump'ing on host 255.255.255.255. Fabio when you say put a breakpoint after cman start, as there is no cman process itself (just corosync -f) you man to break right after corosync is launched ? That is exactly what I tried to do, I can see corosync starting with no problem, but right after cman_tool join times out connecting to the corosync. I'm sure there are no errors in the cluster.conf (quite simple setup), expected_votes=2, two_nodes=1 so the cluster should be able to start with only one node. Did anyone try this on FC12 ? 2010/3/23 Fabio M. Di Nitto <fdinitto@xxxxxxxxxx>: > On 3/23/2010 2:54 PM, Digimer wrote: >> On 10-03-23 02:49 AM, Fabio M.
