Hi, I'm trying to configure Red Hat GFS but have problems starting CLVMD on the second node of a 3-nodes cluster. I can start ccsd, cman, and fenced successfully, and clvmd on any other nodes first time. ------------------------- CenOS 4.4 Kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp [root at server2 ~]# cman_tool nodes Node Votes Exp Sts Name 1 1 3 M server3 2 1 3 M server4 3 1 3 M server2 ------------------------- First Node (able to start clvmd successfully) [root at server3 ~]# cman_tool services Service Name GID LID State Code Fence Domain: "default" 1 2 run - [1 2 3] DLM Lock Space: "clvmd" 2 3 update U-4,1,3 [1 3] [root at server3 ~]# cat /proc/cluster/dlm_debug clvmd move flags 0,1,0 ids 0,3,0 clvmd move use event 3 clvmd recover event 3 (first) clvmd add nodes clvmd total nodes 1 clvmd rebuild resource directory clvmd rebuilt 0 resources clvmd recover event 3 done clvmd move flags 0,0,1 ids 0,3,3 clvmd process held requests clvmd processed 0 requests clvmd recover event 3 finished clvmd move flags 1,0,0 ids 3,3,3 clvmd move flags 0,1,0 ids 3,4,3 clvmd move use event 4 clvmd recover event 4 clvmd add node 3 -------------------------- Second Node (forever waiting) [root at server2 ~]# cman_tool services Service Name GID LID State Code Fence Domain: "default" 1 2 run - [1 2 3] DLM Lock Space: "clvmd" 2 3 join S-6,20,2 [1 3] [root at server2 ~]# cat /proc/cluster/dlm_debug clvmd move flags 0,1,0 ids 0,2,0 clvmd move use event 2 clvmd recover event 2 (first) clvmd add nodes -------------------------- Any ideas why?
