1. Nodes do not form a cluster
wdfink Feb 27, 2011 4:20 AM (in response to irfanmasood_015)Hi,
could you give a bit more information?
What OS dou you use?
what version of JBoss do you use?
both JBoss on one system or two different systems?
do you use IP binding (option -b for run.sh)?
With which IP address your instances are started?
BTW to test the JGroups functionality it is recommend to use the same multicast address and the same ip binding as you try with JBoss, any other combination might have different behaviour.

2. Nodes do not form a cluster
irfanmasood_015 Feb 27, 2011 5:43 AM (in response to wdfink)OS is Windows 2008 server
JBoss 3.2.5 and JDK 1.4.2
we are using windows service using wrapper to run the jboss as a windows service
JBoss instances are running on two seperate servers on same VLAN
i am not using farm deployment. the application .ear files is deployed in server/all/deploy folder as exploded archive
please note currently both nodes are working as master nodes without forming master and child nodes.
i dont use ip binding
below is the configruation being for both nodes.
any idea why clustering is not being established by both nodes, though mutli casting is working.

3. Nodes do not form a cluster
wdfink Feb 27, 2011 5:58 AM (in response to irfanmasood_015)Ok, quite old JBoss. but nevertheles it should work.
It may help to start JBoss for test without using the windows server mode.
Also I see in your post a hint for windows about setting loopback attribute to TRUE, but you've set it to false.
What IP addresses your windows server use? different subnet can cause problems.
Maybe a test with an actual jboss4.3 or the JGroups test with this version (see my previous comment) will help.

4. Nodes do not form a cluster
irfanmasood_015 Mar 1, 2011 2:25 AM (in response to wdfink)Dear Wolf,
The strange behaviour is that we set up clustering about a two months ago and it worked 100%. After a month we applied small patch which required to restart JBoss. When we restarted one node then it did not joined cluster and when we stopped both and restarted they still not joined cluster. When we started both instances at the same time instantly, both became master nodes, each node has a cluster view having himself as a single node. We noticesd that the machine has two network interfaces, can this cause problems.
Thanks for your help!
Best Regards!

5. Nodes do not form a cluster
wdfink Mar 1, 2011 8:23 AM (in response to irfanmasood_015)The two network interfaces might cause this. It might happen that the missconfiguration is done without effect and you see it only when you restart the instances.
It depends on the IP where you bind your JBoss instances and the multicast address.
It might be that you can form a cluster with different IP binding and or multicast-address.
A simple way to test is http://community.jboss.org/wiki/TestingJBoss
You can use it in parallel to the productive JBoss without sideeffect.
Here you can check different IP binding and multicast addresses (use only a different mcast port)

6. Re: Nodes do not form a cluster
irfanmasood_015 Jul 10, 2011 5:49 AM (in response to wdfink)This proved to be a network issue, where the switches were upgraded and multicasting was not enabled by default.
