[Linux-cluster] Strange behaviours in two-node cluster

[Javier Vela]

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm going to ask if we can upgrade to Red
Hat 5.8.

Moreover, the machines don't have now performance problems (we are still in
pre). But all is virtual, under VMWare, so a punctual problem in the
VMWare  infrastructure can affect us. Do you know some way to test network
problems that could affect RHCS?

I tried tcpdump and iperf, but haven't seen anything.

Regards, Javi.
