[Linux-HA] evms-failover resource agent does not handle case sensitive hostnames correctly

Most likely ;) Although I'm not completely sure how case is handled
elsewhere. We might be case-sensitive on purpose! (although I can't see
a good reason to do this for host names). Maybe send to the -dev list?

The "resource cannot run anywhere" is nothing to do with the resource
agent. It's the PE (Policy Engine) deciding that it is so. Likely you
have either resource node failcounts that are too high, or "failed
starts". Resources that have failed to start on a node are not eligible
to be started again on that node (at least on the SLES 10 2.0.8
version). I've heard this may change one day.
To see failed starts, try crm_verify -VV
To see failcounts, I usually grep the output of "cibadmin -Q" (much
faster than issuing multiple crm_failcount commands...).
