Hello Digimer, The problem solved. First of all, I just want to thank you your time to stay with me on the issue I have. You are also correct about fencing. But here is it breaking down to. 1. I forgot, when I create the cluster. I didn't join these system in cluster set yet. You know one for a long while I have to setup cluster. I did write documentation about all this. But I still forget to follow it to the teeth. That is what happens. So I have to run: cman_tool join for all nodes. This is the key. 2. after join all nodes into cluster. I'm able to start cman via: service cman start 3. then configure fencing 4. then add static config mount device into /etc/fstab 5. then reboot each node one by one. They are all come back and well. I do have this error in logs: (it mean our multicast is not using. I'm using broadcast for now. But if we have multicast network not blocking, then that error would go away. That is my thought.) [TOTEM ] Received message has invalid digest... ignoring. Jan 8 08:34:33 ustlvcmsp1956 corosync[21194]: [TOTEM ] Invalid packet data Again, thanks for your helps.

I need to see the entire logs from all five nodes, as I mentioned in the first email. Please disable cman from starting on boot, configure fencing properly and then reboot all nodes cleanly. Start the 'tail -f -n 0 /var/log/messages' on all five nodes, then in another window, start cman on all five nodes. When things settle down, copy/paste all the log output please. >> >> On 07/01/15 04:29 PM, Cao, Vinh wrote: >>> Hi Digimer, >>> >>> Here is from the logs: >>> [root@ustlvcmsp1954 ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages >>> Jan 7 16:14:01 ustlvcmsp1954 corosync[8182]: [SERV ] Service engine loaded: corosync profile loading service >>> Jan 7 16:14:01 ustlvcmsp1954 corosync[8182]: [QUORUM] Using quorum provider quorum_cman >>> Jan 7 16:14:01 ustlvcmsp1954 corosync[8182]: [SERV ] Service engine loaded: corosync cluster quorum service v0.1 >>> Jan 7 16:14:01 ustlvcmsp1954 corosync[8182]: [MAIN ] Compatibility mode set to whitetank.
