Description of problem:
If a cluster member has its IP changed out from under it (in this
case, it was set to DHCP and the cable was put into a different
subnet), it will get into a constantly rebooting state, making it
nearly impossible to debug.

This is not going to happen at *all* often, so making it low priority,
but it's highly unpleasant when it does happen, thus high severity.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
clumanager-1.2.7-1

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a cluster with machines using DHCP to get their IP addresses
2. Start the cluster
3. Move one of the member's ethernet cables to another subnet
    

Actual Results:  The machine in question was constantly rebooting, at
a rate too rapid to debug the problem. Could have told it to go to a
run level at which the cluster did not run, but only if one has
console access.

Expected Results:  It should have realized that it couldn't talk to
the cluster, and just stopped the cluster and waited. (Not sure how
feasible this is, though, since it does make sense for it to be
continually leaving the cluster, and rebooting is how that is forced)

Additional info:

I did not have a tie-breaker IP set up, but don't think it would have
helped.

Rebooting is fine.. once.  Rebooting all the time... well... that's not ;)

May be fixed by the fix incorporated in:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114653

Will check.

Fixing product name.  Clumanager on RHEL3 was part of RHCS3, not RHEL3
