I kinda have the same configuration as you. I have all nodes with one vote, and I start up the first node like thie: cman_tool join -w -e 1 then I bring up the rest of the cluster. when the nodes get reduced under quorum, I login to one of the nodes to reset the expected votes to 1 to reestablish the quorum: cman_tool expected -e 1 -dan On 30, Jun, 2005, Jon Scottorn declared: > > >>This is the error that I get still. > >> > >>Starting Cluster (ccsd, fence, clvm, gnbd): cluster/sbin/cman_tool: the > >>two-node option requires exactly two nodes with one vote each and > >>expected votes of 1 (node_count=3 vote_sum=2) > >> > >>Am I misunderstanding a step or something. > >> > >> > >> > > > >No. That feature is just an idea I had for Xen+VM clusters, it's not implemented > >yet!
