Howdy, y'all. I'm trying to set up GFS in a cluster on CentOS systems running on vmWare. The GFS FS is on a Dell Equilogic SAN. I keep running into the same problem despite many differently-flavored attempts to set up GFS. The problem comes when I try to start cman, the cluster management software. [root@test01]# service cman start Starting cluster: Loading modules... done Mounting configfs... done Starting ccsd... done Starting cman... failed cman not started: Can't find local node name in cluster.conf /usr/sbin/cman_tool: aisexec daemon didn't start [FAILED] [root@test01]# tail /var/log/messages Jan 5 13:39:40 testbench06 ccsd[13194]: Unable to connect to cluster infrastructure after 1193640 seconds.
