Hi,
I see the following error before trying to setup 3node promoxVE cluster


root@srv1:~# pvecm status
Cannot initialize CMAP service
root@srv1:~#

root@srv1:~# pveversion
pve-manager/4.1-1/2f9650d4 (running kernel: 4.2.6-1-pve)
root@srv1:~#

root@srv1:~# corosync-cmapctl -g totem.interface.0.mcastaddr
Failed to initialize the cmap API. Error CS_ERR_LIBRARY
root@srv1:~#



Please advise.

However there is no response from srv2 an srv3 using omping.

Tried following , eternally stuck

On other node ( trying to add to cluster )

Note: In this case, i went to the proxmoxVE GUI for srv3 and started corosync from services ( which was showing dead earlier )

i could get past the error in main node, when I created a cluster name using:

pvecm create ClusterName
 
The error message "Cannot initialize CMAP service" is normal on standalone nodes (i.e., if you haven't created or joined a cluster on that node).
 
make sure two things.
first, make sure all of your node's /etc/hosts file has been properly edited so you can ping any node from any node with hostname.
second, make sure your cluster network support multicast, and when you run omping from all of your node simultaneously, you can get proper response.
