Hello Sridharan,

Have you tried specifying a number of votes for each cluster node? Instead of:

<clusternode name="cfs1">

Write something like this:

<clusternode name="cfs1" votes="1">

Maybe CMAN is assigning -1 as the number of votes for the node if no number of votes is specified.

Javier Peña
