Hi,

I have a two node HA cluster and after I start heartbeat on both the nodes,
I see a lot of error messages in /var/log/messages (continously of the
form):

These messages dont affect the functionality of HA itself, i.e everything
else seems to work fine, but these messages keep getting written to
/var/log/messages almost every second on both the active and passive node.

My /etc/ha.d/ha.cnf has the following two nodes defined in the HA
configuration which match with the "uname -n" output as recommended:

[root at RHEL5HA1 HA]# cat /etc/ha.d/ha.cf  | grep ^"node"
node RHEL5HA1
node RHEL5HA2
[root at RHEL5HA1 HA]# uname -n
RHEL5HA1
[root at RHEL5HA1 HA]#

I use the 2.0.8 stable version of the heartbeat rpm's. Can someone please
let me know if I'm missing anything in my configuration/installation?
