Hi,
if you RAELLY need two clusters with the same name on the same subnet,
then try to adjust the following parameters and use unique values for
each cluster:
/Multicast network configuration/
cman uses multicast UDP packets to communicate with other nodes in
the cluster. By default it will generate a multicast address using
239.192.x.x where x.x is the 16bit cluster ID number split into
bytes. This, in turn is generated from a hash of the cluster name
though it can be specified explicitly. The purpose of this is to
allow multiple clusters to share the same subnet - they will each
use a different multicast address. You might also/instead want to
isolate clusters using the port number as shown above.
It is possible to override the multicast address by specifying it in
cluster.conf as shown:
<cman> <multicast addr="229.192.0.1"/> </cman>
/Cluster ID/
The cluster ID number is used to isolate clusters in the same
subnet. Usually it is generated from a hash of the cluster name, but
it can be overridden here if you feel the need. Sometimes cluster
names can hash to the same ID.
<cman cluster_id="669"> </cman>
Kind regards,
Laszlo
