It seems that multicast between my two KVM nodes stops after 180s:

afnA :   unicast, seq=178, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.238ms
afnA : multicast, seq=178, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.324ms
afnA :   unicast, seq=179, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.243ms
afnA : multicast, seq=179, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.313ms
afnA :   unicast, seq=180, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.273ms
afnA :   unicast, seq=181, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.449ms
afnA :   unicast, seq=182, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.266ms
afnA :   unicast, seq=183, size=69 bytes, dist=0, time=0.367ms

I can then just restart omping and get another 180s of multicasting… hmm might this have anything to do with the open vswitch used between nodes… seem to remember to have read about issues with open vswitches and multicasting, will dig more…

Meanwhile since I only have two nodes cluster, how do I configure it to do unicast in /etc/cluster/cluster,conf, as cman stack doesn’t use /etc/corosync/corosync.conf (have test with skewed malfunction corosync.conf, cman still forms quorum initially)?

TIA
