Hello, I was wondering if a quorum makes sense when I have one underlying
shared device. My setup is this:
blade1 b2 b3 b4 b5 .....
\ | | | | | | /
[ fiber switch module ]
| |
[FastT500/EXP500]
and I want any blade to be able to access the storage at anytime. right
now I have my configuration such that each node has the number of votes
equivalent to the quorum. Does this make sense? From my understanding,
the quorum/voting procedure is to prevent split-brain scenarios where two
nodes coming up for the first time might try to form two separate clusters
of the same name, which will cause data corruption. How would I prevent
that, while still allowing any one node, even by itself, to access the
storage media.
Another use of the quorum is for distributed disks in the case of a node
failure the I/O to that disk is fenced. Is that correct?
regards,
Dan
