Afaics, drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2 is needed to discover the host hardware and software. In my initial testing, once I supplied it credentials to ssh to the host members, it ran /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2 on each host to get the info about my cluster. I didn't know the file was needed until I saw DMC trying to run it in the lower console window, which shows the remote ssh cli session. > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems -- regards, -tony _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
