[Ocfs2-users] one node rejects connection from new node

[Sunil Mushran]

Could be that the cluster was already online on wilson1 when you
propagated the cluster.conf to all nodes. If so, restart the cluster
on that node.

To add a node to an online cluster, you need to use the o2cb_ctl
command. Details are in the 1.4 user's guide.
