Hi Jozsef,

I think I might be having similar problems. However I seem to be unable
to specify a multicast address manually using conga / luci (the web
based tool). When I press "apply" I see the reconfiguration happening,
but when I look at my cluster.conf, there's no multicast address in
there:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster alias="clust0" config_version="10" name="clust0">
        <fence_daemon clean_start="0" post_fail_delay="0"
post_join_delay="30"/>
        <clusternodes>
                <clusternode name="host0.library.usyd.edu.au" nodeid="1"
votes="1">
                        <fence>
                                <method name="1">
                                        <device name="host0"/>
                                </method>
                        </fence>
                </clusternode>
                <clusternode name="host1.library.usyd.edu.au" nodeid="2"
votes="1">
                        <fence>
                                <method name="1">
                                        <device name="host1"/>
                                </method>
                        </fence>
                </clusternode>
        </clusternodes>
        <cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1"/>
        <fencedevices>
                <fencedevice action="reboot" agent="fence_ilo" force="1"
hostname="192.168.0.3" login="clust0" name="host0" passwd="ilopasswd"/>
                <fencedevice action="reboot" agent="fence_ilo" force="1"
hostname="192.168.0.4" login="clust0" name="host1" passwd="ilopasswd"/>
        </fencedevices>
        <rm>
                <failoverdomains/>
                <resources/>
        </rm>
        <fence_xvmd/>
</cluster>


Also when I try

 netstat -gn

itill seems to show the multicast address that openais chose by itself:

[root at host0 ~]# netstat -gn
IPv6/IPv4 Group Memberships
Interface       RefCnt Group
--------------- ------ ---------------------
lo              1      224.0.0.1
eth0            1      224.0.0.251
eth0            1      225.0.0.12
eth0            1      239.192.205.2
eth0            1      224.0.0.1
[root at host0 ~]# 


Could I please have a look at your cluster.conf?
