Hi I'm running Debail Lenny where packages: gfs2-tools and redhat-cluster-suite are installed. When I do /etc/init.d/cman start I get: Starting cluster manager: Loading kernel modules: done Mounting config filesystem: done Starting cluster configuration system: done Joining cluster:cman_tool: ccsd is not running done Starting daemons: groupd fenced dlm_controld gfs_controld Joining fence domain:fence_tool: can't communicate with fenced -1 done Starting Quorum Disk daemon: done ccsd doesn't run, and that is the reason why fence cannot communicate? My cluster.conf and /etc/default/cman looks like: web3:~# cat /etc/default/cman CLUSTERNAME="cluster" NODENAME="web3" USE_CCS="yes" CLUSTER_JOIN_TIMEOUT=300 CLUSTER_JOIN_OPTIONS="" CLUSTER_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=60 web3:~# cat /etc/cluster/cluster.conf <?xml version="1.0"?> <cluster name="cluster" config_version="1"> <cman two_node="0" expected_votes="1"> </cman> <clusternodes> <clusternode name="web1" nodeid="1"> <fence> <method name="single"> <device name="manual" ipaddr="192.168.99.30"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="web2" nodeid="2"> <fence> <method name="single"> <device name="manual" ipaddr="192.168.99.40"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="web3" nodeid="3"> <fence> <method name="single"> <device name="manual" ipaddr="192.168.99.50"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> </clusternodes> <fencedevices> <fencedevice name="manual" agent="fence_manual"/> </fencedevices> </cluster> web3:~# /usr/sbin/ccsd web3:~# ps ax | grep ccsd 11935 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep ccsd strace /usr/sbin/ccsd output: http://pastebin.ca/1859435 the process seem to die after reading the cluster.conf I have a iscsi block device /dev/sda available at three initiators. gfs2 fs is created using: mkfs.gfs2 -t cluster:share1 -p lock_dlm -j 4 /dev/sda1 kernel is default: 2.6.26-2-amd64 Have I missed anything to make the cman startup work properly? -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
