4.1. Defining a Cluster Node

Each node in the cluster will have an entry in the nodes section containing its UUID, uname, and type.

Example 4.1. Example Heartbeat cluster node entry

<node id="1186dc9a-324d-425a-966e-d757e693dc86" uname="pcmk-1" type="normal"/>

Example 4.2. Example Corosync cluster node entry

<node id="101" uname="pcmk-1" type="normal"/>

In normal circumstances, the admin should let the cluster populate this information automatically from the communications and membership data. However for Heartbeat, one can use the crm_uuid tool to read an existing UUID or define a value before the cluster starts.
