Re: Two node cluster, start CMAN fence the other node

For two node clusters there's a convenient workaround:  crossover cable.

 

You'll need a spare Ethernet port but that's easier than getting certain switches to do multicast correctly.  (At least in my experience.)

Most likely the multicast packet communication between the 2 nodes is not getting through your network.
