[Linux-cluster] Unable to retrieve batch 1493885544 status fromx.x.x.86:11111: module scheduled for execution

[eric rosel]

Hi List,

Indeed it was the switch!  Two of them, in fact!
For the benefit of future googlers, these switches didn't work with RHCS:

3Com Switch 4226T
HP ProCurve Switch 1800-24G

...and this one worked:

HP ProCurve 4104GL

Many thanks to Harri.Paivaniemi and Bevan Broun for pointing it out.

peace!
-eric
