Hi Fadia,

Sounds like the cluster manager can't communicate between the nodes.
Check to make sure the iptables firewall isn't filtering out messages 
between
the nodes, (i.e. temporarily turn it off and try again).  If it is 
iptable interfering,
you may need to enable some ports in iptables.  See 
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/faq.html#iptables

Also, check to make sure that broadcast messages work properly between 
the nodes.
