It was THER SAME cluster. Just disk IO was unusial - it worked as - delayed for 10 seconds (approx) - then all IO comes thru - then delayed again - loop
As a result, cluster did not recognized IO problems and never saw a second node (so conflicted for the heartbeat slot). To make it work, we just fixed iSCSI config and recreated OCFS2 fs, but did not touched cluster configuration. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sunil Mushran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Alexei_Roudnev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Andy Kipp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com> Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 10:51 PM Subject: Re: [Ocfs2-users] ocfs2 cluster becomes unresponsive > The config error I would imagine would be that you defined two > different clusters, each not having the other node, and that the two > nodes have the same node number in both clusters.
