[Linux-cluster] Basic two node cman configuration

[Sridharan Ramaswamy (srramasw)]

I'm trying to understand the basics of ccs/cman layer for a two-node
configuration. I understand, from the docs, this is a special condition
that need cman started with  two_node="1" and expected_votes="1". But I
still have problem starting cman. It complains the votes = -1 and fails
to start.
 
Jan 22 12:35:50 cfs1 cman: cman_tool: the two-node option requires
exactly two nodes with one vote each and expected votes of 1 (votes=-1)
failed

But if remove two_node setting from <cman two_node="1"
expected_votes="1"> to <cman> it actually starts fine!! Not sure where
it is getting votes = -1. 
 
Is this some silly mistake on my part or a known issue? 
 
TIA,
Sridharan
