Further, heartiest thanks for all the valuable information. I will send my cluster.conf file again if i got some error message or i didn't get my nfs failover :). Marc , Just asking for clarification. Suppose I have my nfstest directory exported on network via nfs from the node1 ( here centos ) and it is mounted on node3 (centos2 machine). There is the similar directory (nfstest) available on node two (centos1 machine ). Is it possible that if node1 get crashed then the nfstest directory from centos1 machine (node2) , will be exported on the network and will be automatically mounted on node3 (centos2 ). That i was trying to achieve. Please tell if its possible to achieve this result through this experiment.

That's a moving target lately, so it depends on the version you use and the configuration of your syslog daemon. But cman_tool should tell you at any given time what is going on in your cluster. So take a look at man cman_tool and use this tool to debug your cluster state."cman_tool nodes" and "cman_tool status" should give what you need in most cases... > Further, heartiest thanks for all the valuable information.

If some questions remain unanswered, then you could point your question to the helpful crowds on the linux-cluster list (information for that list is on cluster wiki). > > Thanks & Best regards, > Krishna > > > > > > > > > Marc > > Am Montag, den 20.04.2009, 15:42 +0530 schrieb er krishna: > > > > Dear All, > > > > I am trying to setup NFS failover and its recovery via GFS > (using > > CMAN) tool.
