SE Linux must be disabled.
Network Manager service must be disabled.

If kernel modules that are used by the resources of the MCCS is ONDEMAND type, before resource online the module must be active.
In order to use MirrorDisk resource, you should pre-install DRBD 8.3.13.
For more details about DRBD installation, please refer to“8- Appendix DRBD Installation”of this document.)
In order to use SCSI Reservation Disk resource, you should pre-install sg3_util (yum install sg3_util)

Each node in a cluster should have at least one IP address for every NIC to be used by MCCS. Virtual IP addresses which is switchable between nodes which communicate to clients also should be reserved. (The number of virtual IP address can be variable according to the clients' needs).)
When you reserve virtual IP addresses, this must be on the same subnet as the real IP address of the NIC of node. For example, if the real IP address of the NIC is 10.10.10.10/255.255.255.0, virtual IP addresses that MCCS uses on that NIC must be in the form 10.10.10.x/255.255.255.0 where x is any unassigned number from 1 to 254.
