+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #492808 +++ Many customers are interested in using RHCS but face a stumbling block with their network equipment and/or network standards with regard to multicast. Submitting this RFE to provide an alternate means for cman's "heartbeats." --- Additional comment from sdake on 2009-03-31 16:29:59 EDT --- 5.4 flags set to add "broadcast" option instead of multicast option. Requires small change to cman as well as openais. --- Additional comment from pmyers on 2009-03-31 16:40:00 EDT --- (In reply to comment #1) > 5.4 flags set to add "broadcast" option instead of multicast option.

Will there be ripple effect to other components? --- Additional comment from sdake on 2009-03-31 16:57:50 EDT --- chrissie are you ok with this change in cman config parameters? --- Additional comment from sdake on 2009-03-31 17:02:43 EDT --- in response to #2 if the field wants this feature supported in conga, they can file a separate configuration rfe bugzilla for conga. regards -steve
This patch requires work for corosync. Also Honzaf please work with Chrissie to work up a patch for cman to allow setting of this feature. It may involve some configuration options - Fabio is the person to talk to there.
Honzaf, can you take this bug back over for corosync trunk. You can probably forward port the whitetank patch mostly unchanged. Regards -steve
Chrissie made that patch, so I'm reassign bug.
The code is now in the latest openais, corosync and cman.
added in f11, f10.
