RHEL Cluster error

[Fadia Almarei]

Dear All

I have two redhat Enterprise Linux AS 4 servers I configured them to be clustered with shared storage,i install the RPM's on both servers and do the configuration of adding nodes and fencing and others, i start the ccsd and cman services on the first server and then ftp the cluster.conf file to the second server,when i try to start the ccsd and cman services on the second server i get the folloing error in the log.

where is the problem and how to solve it.

Shalom,

This is a networking error.

Make sure the systems can ping each other and that networking support for hostnames used in the cluster.conf file is supported by either /etc/hosts or DNS.

Dear Steven

the two servers can ping each other and they are configured in the /etc/hosts files in both servers.

If you change the order of the servers, that is, if you start first server 2 (that now is not starting) and then server 1, the problem is transfered to server 1? I just want to ensure that both servers can start the service independtly.

Are you sure that the network interfaces names and order are correct?

I'm not very familiar with RH Cluster Server, but do you have the firewall on? If so, try turning it off until everything is up and running and then, after you find the ports that you need to pass, turn it on.
