Thanks. I fixed both typos. You might want to check if those are ok now.

Yes, this is something I don't like either but as I had no customer willing to 
pay for it I took the simplest way ;-).

That means up to now you need a /etc/cluster/cluster.conf based on redhat 
cluster. And on the other side it wasn't possible to extend the ocfs 
cluster.conf with attributes.

So in the current state you will have to create a cluster.conf. This will be 
the base for the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf which will be automatically 
generated by com-queryclusterconf convert ocfs2. To validate the output you 
can use the command. It should return something like below:

[root@generix3 ~]# com-queryclusterconf convert ocfs2

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 10.10.10.83
        number = 3
        name = generix3.local
        cluster = clu_generix

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 10.10.10.82
        number = 2
        name = generix2.local
        cluster = clu_generix

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 10.10.10.84
        number = 4
        name = generix4.local
        cluster = clu_generix

cluster:
        node_count = 3
        name = clu_generix

Does that help and make sense?

Marc.
