Have not come across any issues to speak of, although I initially couldn't
get the cluster IP going, and a respawn of the daemons magically fixed that.
Only happened the once though. I also had not setup the virtual machine
fencing correctly, and once sorted, no more woes. I noticed logs from each
node stated they vm's were rebooted as the cluster was not quorate, but I
hardly noticed it happened at all. I suspect the system was running low on
resources as I had lots of apps running.

This is what should happen, as the cluster thinks that the other one is
overloaded, or not receiving keep alives (whatever the term is), so reboots
em!

The box (and vm's) were updated to 5.1 prior to doing the cluster configs. I
tend to patch first, then config. I find 5.x vastly better thn any previous
incarnation. Conga simply rulez.
very impressive bit of software. I need more RAM before I add more services
though. I really should have boughthat lttle dell server with 4GB.
