I'm trying to setup three db nodes on three separate machines. I'm successful with 2 db nodes on two different machines, but three is not working. I'm able to start management server without any problem, but when I start ndbd -i on third computer, all three db nodes crashes . The first two nodes crashes with this error in the error.log:

Date/Time: Thursday 22 July 2004 - 11:25:02 Type of error: error Message: Arbitrator shutdown Fault ID: 2305 Problem data: Arbitrator decided to shutdown this node Object of reference: QMGR (Line: 3764) 0x00000006 ProgramName: NDB Kernel ProcessID: 1970 TraceFile: NDB_TraceFile_5.trace ***EOM***

and the third ndbd logs this error:

Date/Time: Thursday 22 July 2004 - 12:27:12 Type of error: error Message: Internal program error (failed ndbrequire) Fault ID: 2341 Problem data: DbdihMain.cpp Object of reference: DBDIH (Line: 1080) 0x00000006 ProgramName: NDB Kernel ProcessID: 1955 TraceFile: NDB_TraceFile_1.trace ***EOM***

cluster config.ini file looks like this:
