You're probably not using cman's two_node setting which means the one node by itself will be blocked by quorum. When you do a 'cman_tool leave remove', that reduces the votes required for quorum, so it's not a problem for the remaining node. Try using the two_node mode as described here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/doc/usage.txt Dave -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
