Failover using rgmanager in RHCS5

Hey all,

I have a cluster up and running with gfs, drbd, and gnbd. I also have drbd running primary/primary. I am trying to setup a failover ip for the 2 drbd servers so if one goes down the exported gnbd devices are still there. I set up the failover IP through RHCS5 using rgmanager but for some reason when I pull the plug on server1 the ip address does automatically go over to server2. I'm thinking maybe I didn't set up the resources correctly. any help is appreciated.

Can you post here you /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file?

sure no problem. and thanks for the reply.

Dolphins is my storage, drbd, gfs, gnbd server
Patriots is replicating the data on Dolphins with drbd
lions is my xen server and imports the storage from Dolphins/Patriots.

The idea I had was is dolphins fails then just the ip needs to switch to patriots and the same gnbd devices will already be exported and the xen instances won't lose connection.

Am I supposed to create a resource for the partition that is being shared? If yes this is confusing for me. Because I already have the partition running on the other server patriots. All I want is for the ip to switch servers is this possible with red hat cluster suite 5? Thanks again.
