1. Do "/etc/init.d/o2cb load"
Appears you have hand loaded the modules. Use the script. It needs
to do some mounting too.
2. Run "ocfs2console". No -N option.

Which distro are you on?

John,

Thanks for that, I had missed the part about running

/etc/init.d/o2cb configure

However, I don't have a cluster.conf and the docs seems to suggest you run ocfs2console to create it:

If you have installed the console, use it to create this configuration file. For details, refer to the user's guide. If you do not have the console installed, check the Appendix in the User's guide for a sample cluster.conf and the details of all the components. Do not forget to copy this file to all the nodes in the cluster. If you ever edit this file on any node, ensure the other nodes are updated as well.

and in the user guide it says:

Start ocfs2console and click on menu item Cluster followed by Configure Nodes. If the cluster is offline, the console will start it and display a message to that effect. If cluster.conf is not present,
the console will create one with a default cluster name ocfs2.

but every time I run the ocfs2console -N or click on configure nodes I get the error stated in my last email.

How do you create the cluster.conf with the console?

I am trying to use ocfs2 and wanted to know if anyone knew of a good getting started guide as I'm struggling to find a one which is relevant for ocfs2. So far I've loaded the ocfs2 kernel modules (linux) and installed the ocfs2 tools,
I managed to mkfs.ocfs2 a partition but:

1. ocfs2console errored with

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/local/sbin/ocfs2console", line 3, in ?
   from ocfs2interface.about import process_args
ImportError: No module named ocfs2interface.about

I don't know what the correct fix for this but if I run the ocfsconsole with PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages it works. I can see ocfstools installed the ocfs python packages here and I don't see wht python is not
looking in the site dir.

2. Now I can run ocfs2console I run with -N to configure my noeds and just get
a dialogue saying:

Could not query the state of the cluster stack.This must be resolved before any
OCFS2 filesystemcan be mounted.

In case it makes a diference /etc/init.d/o2cb.init status shows

Module "configfs": Loaded
Filesystem "configfs": Not mounted
Module "ocfs2_nodemanager": Loaded
Module "ocfs2_dlm": Loaded
Module "ocfs2_dlmfs": Not loaded
Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Not mounted

I am using ocfs2-tools-1.2.1.

I am a bit stuck for now at this point.

Any ideas or pointers?

Martin
