2 newbie questions...

Hi All,

Just a couple of issues that someone is bound to be able to help me
with.

Have installed failsafe for linux, on a standard redhat 7.2 build using
the rpms from SGI, everything installed OK - did the --nodeps switch to
install the tcpmux rpm, and then created xinetd.d file to enable tcpmux
as a service, added the necessary lines to /etc/services - restarted
xinetd and then started the fs_cluster daemons, they all seemed to start
OK.

When trying to connect to GUI, it reports fatal error: Unable to
connect to CAM daemon on xxx, tried running fs_cluster restart but get
the same error, I have now also repeated the same installation process
on a Redhat 7.1 build (I was lead to believe that the rpms were built
for 7.1), and have different errors on starting the fs_cluster:

Starting Cluster Services:
Cluster Control processes could not be restarted

On the 7.1 install only two of the three log files have been created:

cdbd_log and cmond_log

On 7.2 all three logs have been created although I cannot find anything
to suggest an answer as to why the GUI is unable to connect.

It seems to me like a possible Catch 22 situation: the GUI won't start
without the config database being defined, and I want to use the GUI to
define the config database...

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks - 

here are some parts of the log files:
