[Pacemaker] does adding a second ring actually work with cman?

[Brian J. Murrell]

So, I was reading:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Cluster_Administration/s2-rrp-ccs-CA.html

about adding a second ring to one's CMAN configuration.  I tried to add
a second ring to my configuration without success.

Given the example:

# ccs -h clusternet-node1-eth1 --addalt clusternet-node1-eth1 clusternet-node1-eth2

I'm assuming that clusternet-node1-eth2 is a name that resolves to the
IP address of the interface to add as the second ring?  Otherwise I see
no way that the ccs command is supposed to know which (of possibly many)
interfaces to use for the second ring.

That didn't seem to work for me in any case:

# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:54:00:05:A7:08  
          inet addr:10.128.0.206  Bcast:10.128.7.255  Mask:255.255.248.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:fe05:a708/64 Scope:Link

                    <device name="pcmk" port="lotus-5vm8"/>          
                </method>        
            </fence>      
            <altname name="lotus-5vm8-ring1"/>      
        </clusternode>    
    </clusternodes>  
    <cman/>  
    <fencedevices>    
        <fencedevice agent="fence_pcmk" name="pcmk"/>    
    </fencedevices>  
    <rm>    
        <failoverdomains/>    
        <resources/>    
    </rm>  
</cluster>
# corosync-objctl  | grep ring
totem.interface.ringnumber=0

So is there something I am misunderstanding or is this not actually
working?  The node I was trying this on is EL6.4.

Cheers,
b.
