Hi, Nagaraja. It seems to me that you're misunderstanding the concept of Heartbeat Clustering. There's only one CIB. The XML representation of it is just for your commodity. All the nodes in the cluster will share the same CIB configuration. For my cluster, I needed to make sure that the Database IP address didn't change, so I created an IPaddr resource in the CIB. This allows the cluster to manage the database access IP address. As my nodes are part of a big and complex network used by the european Registar of Internet Resources (RIR), they are required to have multiple ethernet cards. None of the other addresses are considered clustering resources - they just provide the connectivity required to that specific box. Hence, none of them show up as IPAddr resources in my CIB. I hope that helps.
