CMAN does nothing

Howdy, recently i've downloaded and configured two PCs with Proxmox VE 2.0 8d4f53a0-20. My intention is to keep virtual machines running on a more powerful machine, and leave the other for storing scheduled backups. Both machines are installed and running, tested the VM's on the master and they're working great, but i can't seem to create cluster nodes on the master. I think the current Proxmox 2 interface doesn't offer such functionality (at least i couldn't find my way on that), so i tried to configure everything on the command line.


This is my PVE version:

First, i tried to see the cluster status:
Code: 
root@master:~# pvecm status
cman_tool: Cannot open connection to cman, is it running ?


Strange... Let me see the status of the service:
Code: 
root@master:~# service cman status[code]


Nothing is output! Maybe i need to start it:
[code]root@master:~# service cman start[code]


Again, no output. There must be something on the logs...

I guess there's nothing related to cman there. I even tried to add the node, despite the problems:
Code: 
root@master:~# pvecm add <ip>
root@<ip>'s password:
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/pve/cluster.conf"
ccs_tool: Error: unable to parse requested configuration file


command 'ccs_tool lsnode -c /etc/pve/cluster.conf' failed: exit code 1
unable to add node: command failed (ssh <ip> -o BatchMode=yes pvecm addnode master --force 1)

I don't quite get what's happening... Do i need to create that cluster.conf file? I thought it'd be created at the time the first node was connected.

I also tried to "aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade" on the backup node, but i got exactly the same outcomes. Can someone point me to the right direction?

My mistake, i read through that page and all seems well now. Both nodes were initialized and cman is running, and none of them have any virtual machines. But now i'm getting this:

Code: 
root@backup:~# pvecm add <master_ip>
authentication key already exists

root@backup:~# pvecm nodes
Node  Sts   Inc   Joined               Name
   1   M      8   2012-04-10 08:44:59  backup

This is probably because of my previous attempts. How'd i go to fix that?

Yes, i did that... The wikipage doesn't make it so clear that i should not. Guess i'm off to formatting both of them, it'll be easier. At least i have a better understanding of things now:

- The master node is the one that i'll be executing "pvecm create <cluster-name>"
- The slave nodes are the ones i'll be executing "pvecm add <master-ip>"

The only thing i need to sort out is which of them should be the master: the backup or the VM Host.
