Hi Fabio,

Could you please attach the following files:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3
/etc/cluster/cluster.conf

And "external ip address is removed from bond0." - I assume here 
external IP is 10.0.181.41, right?
