How do you mean? If I downloaded DMC-0.8.2.jar and executed it on a WIN client, how would I know about "it should be installed by DRBD MC, whatever OS you are using". I don't see anything at http://oss.linbit.com/drbd-mc/ or http://www.drbd.org/mc/management-console/ that gives cluster host requirements for DMC-0.8.2.jar. It was only after I ran DMC-0.8.2.jar that I realized it was looking for /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2 on the cluster hosts. So it seeemed logical I should download drbd-mc-0.8.2.tar.gz to see if it contained drbd-gui-helper. So I copied drbd-gui-helper to /usr/local/bin and created the /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2 symlink pointing to it (after having a look to what it does). As I'm just sort of 'kicking the tires', I was only installing the minimum needed to have a look. > > Also when adding cluster > > hosts, the interface does not initially accept host IP addresses - in fact > > it tried to do DNS resolution on the IP address, which failed.

Yes, in fact it did continue, but it was awkward - I thought "why does it need DNS, I gave an IP address?" > > One can click through this and eventually the host is seen, but it's > > awkward.
