Linux clustering with Heartbeat

Hi,

I have configured 2-node Linux cluster with heartbeat for samba(smb) service.
Both the nodes (node 1 and node 2) are giving the cluster IP (virtual IP) for 'ifconfig' command etho:0. When I access the file share, it is working and accessing the recently started heartbeat server. for example if I start heartbeat on node 1 and then on node2... Then node 2 samba shares are visible. If I stop the Node2 heartbeat service, then nothing is coming up though node 1 is already in running status (until I restart the heartbeat on node1, if want to see node1 shares).

Why both the nodes are showing virtual IP (ifconfig command -- eth0:0)?
Please guide me.

What are you saying? Both your nodes show the service IP?

Post your /etc/ha.d/ha.cf and /etc/ha.d/haresources, and your Samba config file too, just for checking

Thanks HasC.

I figured it out the issue. The problem is my crossover cable IP's are not communicating each other and hence both the nodes are acting independent. Updated the ha.cf (bcast,ucast directives) with normal IP's and everything is OKEY now. Heartbeat is working fine.
