Hi I'm fighting about all possibilities between quorumd votes and cman expected votes values so that my two-nodes cluster works fine. I've read lots of emails on this ML about that and the FAQ etc. but among some contradictions, and perhaps my misunderstanding of documentation (qdisk man etc.) , I don't find a correct cluster.conf : My cluster.conf is like this (without any heuristic) : .... <quorumd interval="1" tko="10" votes="2" log_level="9" log_facility="local4" status_file="/tmp/qdisk_status" label="QUORUMDISK"> </quorumd> ... <cman expected_votes="2" two_node="0"/> ... As I don't find the good values and some contradictions between advised values, I try all the following combinations to study the behavior and I got : quorumd votes= 2 expected votes=3 quorumd votes= 1 expected votes=3 quorumd votes= 1 expected votes=2 quorumd votes= 2 expected votes=2 And in all cases, I can't launch cman on the first node without avoiding an automatic fence of second node after a while, and then cman accepts to run on the first node (at least in both first cases 2/3 and 1/3, for 1/2 and 2/2 I've stop cman before it fences the secund node as I saw in syslog that it was about to fence in a while ...) Note that I do "service qdiskd start" after the "service cman start" and when this last one is stalled a moment in fencing phase, because the qdisk man gives in Limitations chapter : "cman must be running before the qdisk program can start" So any help to tune this values would be fine, knowing that I do want to be able to launch CS5 on only one node without being forced to launch CS5 on both nodes.
