Question

cman would not start( Redhat 5 cluster)

Asked by: fosiul01

Hi
I am trying to create a 2nd node from last couple of days but no luck. Please help me to do this.

I have gone through these article again and again:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/

Here is my setup

node1 ( ricci + luci) : which is working fine
node2 (ricci only) : this is giving me problem

node1
/etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost
193.132.234.6 beaver beaver.internal.local
193.132.234.58 node2 node2.internal.local

Node 2:
/etc/hosts file

193.132.234.6 beaver beaver.internal.local
193.132.234.58 node2 node2.internal.local localhost

First problem :
when i created this node2 via luci server from node1. its creates cluster.conf file in /etc/cluster/ directory of node2. but problem is, it would not write <clusternode name> in cluster.conf file. hence in node 2 i was seeing this error:

Sep 15 13:33:34 node2 ccsd[5332]: Unable to connect to cluster infrastructure after 30 seconds.


As a soluiton, i copyed over cluster.conf file from nod1 to node2( I do not know if that right way to do)

after that when i restart cman at node2
now i only see this error:

Failed
/usr/sbin/cman_tool: aisexec daemon didnot start

and in the log file

Sep 15 13:33:34 node2 ccsd[5332]: Unable to connect to cluster infrastructure after 30 seconds.

I went thorough couple of article as bellow :

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217724
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/FAQ/CMAN
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213946

but No luck....
I already reinstall both node1 and node2 couple of times. but no luck
can any one please tell me what i am doing wrong or what i suppose to do??

thanks for your help

Here is the cluster.conf in both node

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster alias="test-cluster" config_version="31" name="test-cluster">
<fence_daemon clean_start="0" post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/>
<clusternodes>
<clusternode name="beaver.electroversal.local" nodeid="1" votes="1">
<fence/>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="node2.electroversal.local" nodeid="2" votes="1">
<fence/>
</clusternode>
</clusternodes>
<cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1"/>
<fencedevices/>
<rm>
<failoverdomains/>
<resources/>
</rm>
