Folks, Quick question on clusters where nodes are off. I have a cluster with four nodes. They are all off. I turn one on and start cman. The cluster services hang on this node because there is no quorum. I then run "cman_tool expected -e 1" to tell cman there is only one node. cman becomes quorate and fences the other three nodes. Now this node is a happy one-node cluster. Then I turn on a second node and start cman. It is my understanding that when the second node comes up, the first node will automatically bump expected to 2. It does just that, and the first node is happy. *However*, the second node does not see expected=2. It sees expected=4. I had to run "cman_tool expected -e 2" on the second node before it became quorate. Shouldn't the second node get the expected value from the first node? Shouldn't it just go quorate?
