There is simply a race to see which node gets fenced first! >> Or do both nodes will immediately try to fence one each other ? >> Thanks yes! OK thanks Patrick. So to conclude on this point: the only way to avoid this problem in the case of two-nodes cluster is to have a second Ethernet network dedicated to the Heart-Beat of CS4 (so that this network should never be over-loaded), isn't it ? Or do you have any other suggestion ? By the way, which is the value of timeout on Heart-beat check ? and how many times does it try to get the heart-beat in case of timeout ? Thanks again for your answers.
