More Proxmox 2.1 setup notes – corosync

Way to change primary interface – edit /etc/hosts to change ip address returned when cman does lookup of system hostname.

e.g.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.40.6 Hildasay.physics.gla.ac.uk Hildasay pvelocalhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

With this config cman will return 192.168.40.6 as the address totem should bind to for it’s multicast stuff.

There may be certificate problems doing this. Probably best in future to install proxmox with the initial interface on the SAN (or other appropriate private network).
