Starting cman... failed
cman not started: Can't find local node name in cluster.conf /usr/sbin/cman_tool: aisexec daemon didn't start
[FAILED]


what does it mean????

It means you haven't set up the cluster.conf file correctly, or some other installation piece is missing. This has been asked and answered on here before:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...r.conf-599958/

Check that thread.

i went through that thread and follow it thouroghly, but it didnt help me.
i used system-config-cluster and my cluster.conf looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cluster alias="lw_cluster1" config_version="4" name="lw_cluster">
<fence_daemon post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/>
<clusternodes>
<clusternode name="node1" nodeid="1" votes="1">
<multicast addr="172.24.0.57" interface="eth0"/>
<fence/>
</clusternode>
</clusternodes>
<cman>
<multicast addr="172.24.0.57"/>
</cman>
<fencedevices/>
<rm>
<failoverdomains/>
<resources/>
</rm>
</cluster>

plz leeme know if i m making a mistake.............
