[Linux-cluster] cman_tool join causes "No multicast address for IPv6 node host4" - why ?

Hello,
I am trying to install a cluster.
After I run /etc/init.d/ccsd start (and get OK)
I run:
cman_tool join

and I get:
cman_tool: No multicast address for IPv6 node host4
I am not using IPV6 and do not want to use IPV6;
nor did I configured the cluster to use IPV6 anywhere.


and cat /proc/cluster/status shows:
...
...
Cluster name:
Cluster ID: 0
Cluster Member: No
Membership state: Not-in-Cluster

Any idea why this error message ?

First, make sure that your node names and IP addresses are either in DNS somewhere or in your /etc/hosts files (or both).  This can cause problems if ccsd does not know which IP or network device it should attach to.  Also, have you set up your /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file, yet?  The fact that /proc/cluster/status shows no cluster name and an id of 0 indicates that you may not have done that.  Go out to the Cluster site (sourceware.org/cluster) and look at the usage.txt file to see how you should do initial setup.
