Progress: We have restructured the documentation set for Red Hat Cluster Suite and GFS. The issues are being addressed as follows: - there is nothing detailing the fact that RHCS 4 no longer requires shared storage, or how to setup RHCS 4 without shared storage -- This is still an outstanding issue and needs to be addressed along with how to set up shared disk for use qdisk. - using CLVM -- We have published a book on this: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Cluster_Logical_Volume_Manager/index.html - using DM Multipathing with CLVM -- Draft underway for DM-Multipath: https://engineering.redhat.com/docbot/en-US/Storage_And_Cluster/5.2.0/html/DM_Multipath/index.html - there is no where (that i can see) in the GFS documentation that indicates that you have to setup the cluster with system-config-cluster before doing the GFS part -- It is noted as part of requirements in the GFS doc: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/4.5/SAC_Global_File_System/s1-sysreq-rhcs.html
Following up on Comment #5: Regarding the first item: The RHEL 4.4 doc addresses the change here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en/ch-overview.html#S1-RHCM-FEATURES Later, the document does provide information about configuring the cluster in this section: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en/ch-software.html
Closing this bug as fixed in CURRENTRELEASE. Because work is underway for the DM-Multipath issue and because scope for that effort is wider than the issue addressed here, have opened separate bug: Bug 279271. Note that link for CLVM doc for RHEL 4 is this instead of the one noted in Comment #5: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/4.5/SAC_Cluster_Logical_Volume_Manager/index.html
