Hi Dejan and others, I do not have that hostcache file at all. You said I could ignore/delete it, but I don't have it to begin with (wince I can ignore/delete it it appears not having it is not such a big deal, but then why does it even exist, I wonder). Anyway, related to the nodes section you said I should empty, that section seems to list the nodes in the cluster and that information seems to be cluster-specific, not host-specific (the same in both files - one on each of my 2 nodes). If I just erase it, wouldn't I be killing useful information (which, again, seems to be the same on all nodes)?
But generally speaking yes, this is the kind of info I am looking for (ha.cf is indeed node-specific and thus I needs to handle it separately). Thanks for the advice. Please let me know if there's anything else you can think of. I need to operate at file level (I won't edit files in my procedure, I will handle each file as a whole).

I am running SUSE 10.2. What makes this a bit different than the usual setup is how I installed this machine. I made a tarball from another machine, tar-ing "everything". I'll skip the details (if there's anything you think it's important ask me and I'll explain it) but I used this tarball on another machine to set up the drive. Again, this is super high-level and superficial explanation but after having taken care of a whole bunch of detail, it works. I can boot my Linux, start X, do everything I want except start heartbeat. > > Interestingly, if I use the tarball to restore the machine I created it from (unpack it on another partition and boot off of this new partition - again details related to the boot loader and other such are skipped here), it works just fine. It seems it's only when I use the tarball on another machine. To make everything else work I had to deal with files that contain host-specific info, such as mac addresses. I wonder if HA has any such files I need to handle separately. /etc/ha.d/ha.cf lists hostname (uname -n) and, in case you run crm (v2 config), /var/lib/heartbeat/crm/cib.xml and /var/lib/heartbeat/crm/hostcache. The hostcache you can erase, but the CIB you'll have to edit. The easiest is to empty the nodes section.
