So, I have to mount my cluster on mach3 before mounting on mach2
and mach1? My ... - now I did so and the volume ist mounted on all 3
machines. I thought mach1 was s.th. like a "leader of the pack" ;-)
because it was the first node in the cluster...

The problem is solved now, I think :-)

They do. The SAP systems on the machines are accessed via those
addresses as well, the boxes communicate via those addresses some SAP
data, and so on.

No, there is no iptables rule active. No other firewall ist up.

At first, I chose other network addresses, but now I chose the network
addresses that are associated with the hostnames in DNS. This is not
necessary, as far as I understand the manual, but however...
On those other addresses, the machines share NFS, and I want to replace
this NFS share with the OCFS2 volume. The addresses did not work either.

Sunil, thanks for the help! My OCFS2 cluster is working (now ;-))

Regards,
Werner
