[Linux-cluster] 4U5 CSS/CMAN/fence quorum confusion

  Whoops - my reply didn't make it onto the list because I sent it from
the wrong address. Let me try again:

  Thanks for the quick reply. I put "magma_tool list" into the script
just before and after trying to start fenced. The output both times is:

Magma: Checking plugins in /lib/magma

File            Status  Message
----            ------  -------
magma_gulm.so   [OK]    GuLM Plugin v1.0.5
magma_sm.so     [OK]    CMAN/SM Plugin v1.1.7.4

Magma: 2 plugins available

  When I added "magma_tool quorum" as well, it reported "Connect
failure: No cluster running?".
