Further investigation suggests that locking may have something to do 
with this.
On the system that currently runs the services, I find these lock files 
in four
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.0
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.1
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.116
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.2
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:31 service.0
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Oct 10 16:08 service.1
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 service.2

On the now idel cluster member, I have these lock files:
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.0
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.1
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.116
-rwx------    1 root     root            0 Oct  8 03:30 lock.2

The four lock.n files strike me as odd since I only have three services. 
  Also, should the lock files even be there on the idle cluster member?

Could anyone running a similar cluster please post the content of the 
/var/lock/clumanager/ of the different members along with the the number 
of services currently running on that member?

Kind regards,

Herta
