I'll take "crm configure edit" over that any day, TYVM.
to my knowledge, if no cib.xml file exists, pacemaker creates an empty one with epoch="0" (or similar, to my experience at least < 100 ;) ) i've done the following steps numerous times: 1. stop pacemaker on all nodes 2. erase all cib.xml related files 3. drop a new cib.xml into the correct directory on one node 4. set the correct permissions 5. startup all nodes 6. witness the new configuration unfold cheers, raoul -- ____________________________________________________________________ DI (FH) Raoul Bhatia M.Sc. email. r.bha...@ipax.at Technischer Leiter IPAX - Aloy Bhatia Hava OEG web. http://www.ipax.at Barawitzkagasse 10/2/2/11 email. off...@ipax.at 1190 Wien tel. +43 1 3670030 FN 277995t HG Wien fax. +43 1 3670030 15 ____________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Pacemaker mailing list Pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org http://oss.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/pacemaker
