what does dmesg say regarding check point ? or smartview tracker ? from my experience, checkpoint conunts physical interfaces, not logical ones (like vlan tagged ifs) and it's not happy about it when the physical interface count it's not equal on both machines (it's funny to see checkpoint say in smartview tracker things like: too many interfaces detected. as a side note i'm curious how it gets to that conclusion). and also, cphaprob state and chpahprob -a if what do they say ? > > Anyone have a situation where cluster members have differing > numbers of physical interfaces, but ClusterXL works?
