Hi everyone!

I have to make a 5 host cluster via VMWare on 5 Windows XP Machines aprox. 2.800MHz 756 MBRam

So Ive started the installation and configuration but when I come to the point of configuring cluster.conf... my brain hooks out...

can you give me some advice? My english is not that good so i dont understand fencing... do i need this

All machines conected via 100 Mbit Switch
IP Address should be in range of 10.60.66.110 - 10.60.66.200 (Nat) or brigded via a dhcpd - master?

thanks for your patience
please give me a example of /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/networking

sincerly a centos noob with Jen2 expirience

At VMware you dont need fencing devices just define manual

As I heard there are 4 types of clustering setup in Linux
Storage - with GFS
High Availability - single point of failure
Load balance - load balance through LVS
High performance - allow application work parallel

Did you install all packages for cluster suite?
Is there any problem when you are starting cman?

I recently implemented OCFS(oracle cluster file system) on my two running rhel5.2 guest on vmware server 2.1. For initial steps visit http://linuxinterviews.blogspot.com
