[Linux-HA] Configuring my cib.xml, need help!

You must set the password for user hacluster by yourself. Also check
permissions and owner of /var/run/heartbeat/ccm, /var/run/heartbeat/crm
and /var/lib/heartbeat/ccm/cib.xml. Owner is hacluster:haclient. User
hacluster must be a member of haclient.

Check the log files, it sounds like connection to CIB fails.
