[Ocfs2-users] Transport endpoint is not connected

[Werner Flamme]

Hi,

I want to share a partition of an external disk between 3 machines. It
is located on a Sun StoreTek 3510 and bound (via multipathing) to all 3
machines.

One machine (say mach1) is the node I used to create the filesystem and
setup /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf. I copied the file to the other 2
machines. All use the same /etc/multipath.conf[1], too. All start
/etc/init.d/ocfs2 at boot, all are running with the same OS and patches
(SLES 9 SP 4) and the same version of ocfs2 tools
(ocfs2-tools-1.2.1-4.2, ocfs2console-1.2.1-4.2). The volume is mounted
to /zdisk/ocfs2 on all machines (theoretically).

When I mount the volume on mach1, it is successful. On the other
machines (mach2 and mach3), I get: "mount.ocfs2: Transport endpoint is
not connected while mounting /dev/disk/by-name/commondisk-part1 on
/zdisk/ocfs2". On mach1, mount shows "/dev/dm-4 on /zdisk/ocfs2 type
ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,heartbeat=local)".

[1] /etc/multipath.conf translates the WWID into
/dev/disk/by-name/commondisk-part1

Following my /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf:
node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 141.65.128.114
        number = 0
        name = mach1
        cluster = ocfs2

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 141.65.128.113
        number = 1
        name = mach2
        cluster = ocfs2

node:
        ip_port = 7777
        ip_address = 141.65.128.112
        number = 2
        name = mach3
        cluster = ocfs2

cluster:
        node_count = 3
        name = ocfs2

What do I do wrong? How may I succes in mounting the volume on all 3
machines?

Regards,
Werner
