Technically yes, practically no. Or rather, not without a lot of testing first. I've never done this, but here are some pointers; <cman upgrading="yes" disallowed="1" ...> upgrading Set this if you are performing a rolling upgrade of the cluster between major releases. disallowed Set this to 1 enable cman's Disallowed mode. This is usually only needed for backwards compatibility. <group groupd_compat="1" /> Enable compatibility with cluster2 nodes. groupd(8) There may be some other things you need to do as well. Please be sure to do proper testing and, if you have the budget, hire Red Hat to advise on this process. Also, please report back your results. It would help me help others in the same boat later. :) -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer@xxxxxxxxxxx Freenode handle: digimer Papers and Projects: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org "omg my singularity battery is dead again. stupid hawking radiation." - epitron -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
