[Linux-cluster] RH Cluster issue-Network Failover not happening

[Harun]

For the below issue some additional information: Network cable I disconnect
is from the public interface. Am I doing the correct way to test the
cluster? Can any one explain if the public interface is removed from primary
(Node 1) will the secondary (Node 2) come to know that primary is down?

1. Can you check your Ethernet switch (if it is a managed one) whether the
multicast is turned on? Ans: It's not a managed switch.

Issue: When network cable is disconnected from the Primary, primary restart
unclean and the failover to secondary do not happens. The shared drives
don't get mounted automatically for secondary neither gets it mounted on
primary, after the primary restarts. I have to then manually shut down both
Primary and Secondary, and start primary first and then secondary for the
setup to work fine again.

I want to test a live production setup... a Linux Cluster with 2 nodes, in
Linux Advanced Server (Linux DB-Primary 2.4.21-37.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Sep 7
13:28:55 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ), Oracle data base is running on
this setup.

The clumanager version is 1.2.28 and redhat-config-cluster version is 1.0.8
on both primary and secondary.I want to resolve the issue with out any
upgradations. Do you think that updating can resolve the issue? If
upgradation is required please guide how to go ahead. I am trying to resolve
this issue with out any patch update.
Is this a configuration problem or some known issue with the version used?

Cluster.xml looks like this.
