Whats the “right” way to get cman to use a different NIC, say, eth2 rather than eth0?
There are several reasons for doing this. You may want to do this in cases where you want the cman heartbeat messages to be on a dedicated network so that a heavily used network doesn’t cause heartbeat messages to be missed (and nodes in your cluster to be fenced). Second, you may have security reasons for wanting to keep these messages off of an Internet-facing network.
