[Pacemaker] Error when trying to create shadow cib

[Michael Hittesdorf]

I fixed my problem. I noticed that the shadow cibs were being created in the /var/lib/heartbeat/crm directory with root ownership and without rw permissions. I suspect that the crm utility could not read these files. All of the other files in the directory are owned by hacluster:haclient. I decided to change the owner of the shadow cib I just created to hacluster:haclient.  I then tried to su to hacluster and access my cib. This failed because the /var/lib/heartbeat/cores/hacluster directory did not exist. It looks like crm tries to create a .crm_help_index file there. I created the directories and chowned them to hacluster:haclient. I then was able to su to hacluster and run the command 'crm cib list'. This time my shadow cib was displayed. I was also able to create a new shadow cib with the command 'crm cib new test'.

Hope this helps someone who might be having a similar problem on Centos5

I don't think so. Does rpm -q --verify says that all's OK? Did
you check that directory too?

Otherwise, you can do:

# strace -o /tmp/shadow.trc crm_shadow --create newtestcib < /dev/null

Then look at the trace file to see where crm_shadow tries to
create the file.
