Hello everybody

Actually I'm trying to setup a cluster using heartbeat. I tried this in
fulltime nearly a week now but without any success. There are some not
working links on the website, so the page is not useable for a heartbeat
newbee like me. Some examples? Take a look at [1] or [2].

So I tried the other things like watching the Screencast and print out the
PDF from the linux.conf.au from January 2007 a.s.o. There are a lot of
information inside and after reading the document once and once again I
know nearly every setting out of my mind. ;-) But what I can't find is, how
to use the settings in the cib-file _together_, how I connect them! I
created a new cib file using the DTD with XMLSpy and so I see all required
tags. I hope you understand what I mean. Sorry for my english, it's not my
native language. For example, how do I distinguish between real existing
resources and the resource I want to offer "to the outside"?

For example I tried to setup a simple two node cluster which should offer a
virtual IP. These hosts got the IPs x.x.x.145 and x.x.x.146. The virtual IP
they offer is x.x.x.150. Normally the user enter this IP and reaches the
node x.x.x.145. If this one goes down the other node will be used. I've
running this setup successful with a heartbeat V1.0 configuration. In the
future I need more powerful settings and so I need the V2.0 configuration.

My next step was to try the GUI to create a cib file to have a look at this
file and see whats happen. But if I start the GUI I can't connect to any of
my nodes, not even localhost!? It says always "Can't connect to server". So
whats going on there or whats wrong? I tried this on SUSE 10.3 and Ubuntu
7.10 with the heartbeat package from your page. You can see the packages
I've installed on the ubuntu machine on [3]. For testing reasons every
installation is running inside a VMware. Normal connections like ping or
ssh between these virtual machines are working well. So actually I don't
know what I can do next. How does the GUI try to connect to the nodes? With
ssh?

I've wrote a lot of different cib files with very different behaviours, so
it makes no sense and wastes time to include all of them here. What I try
to setup is a cluster with two nodes. These nodes offers asterisk, tomcat
and mysql and I want heartbeat to observe these services. It would be very
nice if somebody would give me advise or any other help or the so called
kick into the right direction. ;-)

Oh, there is another strange behaviour. If I copy my with XMLSpy created
cib file to a node and check it with crm_verify, everything is ok. After
running heartbeat the file is modified with the nodes a.s.o. If I do the
check again, the file is _not_ valid because the status tag is removed. Bug
or feature?

Thank you very much for your time and for the cool project. Please ask if
you need more information.
