Hi Guys, Thanks for your valuable suggestion. I will keep them in mind. I have checked whether there is a way to update to Centos to 5.10 without damaging the cluster suite and I was suggested the best way is to reinstall the entire cluster suite. There are few suggestions around this but they are not tested. So I would not like to take a risk with untested solution. So now I will start looking for feasibility of upgrading the entire suite. This may take sometime but I guess at some stage it needs to be done.

Secondly I don't disagree about the need to keep our systems current, but Hersh indicated that this was a clustered production system and I was merely pointing out that there could be breakage by doing an upgrade.
