In the message dated: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 08:09:51 +0200, The pithy ruminations from "Alvaro Jose Fernandez" on <Re: clusternode name and uname -n> were: => => Hadn't to...for example look at the scenario where there is a separation => between the heartbeat/fencing network, and the application/public => network. Yes, that is exactly my experience as well. => => In this case it's seems logical to me that clusternode name should point => to private names (ie, call them "nodexxx-hb" or "nodexxx-private" , etc. That is exactly what I am doing. In our case $hostname is the public interfac, "${hostname}-admin" is the administrative network, "${hostname}-drac" is the DRAC interface. We use "${hostname}-admin" for RHCS communication: # hostname acme-infrastructure1.fqdn # clustat Cluster Status for acme-infra @ Thu Apr 28 11:08:42 2011 Member Status: Quorate Member Name ID Status ------ ---- ---- ------ acme-infrastructure2-admin 1 Online, rgmanager acme-infrastructure1-admin 2 Online, Local, rgmanager acme-infrastructure3-admin 3 Online, rgmanager I vaguely recall having to play some games with host ordering in /etc/hosts when setting up the cluster.
