No, I strongly believe it should not work that way. To my mind, it should work like this: - 2 nodes up'n running, everything ok - shutdown cluster daemons on node b - node b tells node a "I'm going administrative down", node a is decreasing cluster votes from 3 --> 2 - node a is happy, no fencing - start node b's cluster daemons - joins to cluster normally - gains quorum device normally, cluster votes back --> 3 Of course it's different if node b fails, but this is not failing, it's administrative shutdown and node a is informed. If I halt node b, it's fenced ok by node a, as it should be, it reboots and joins to cluster normally. -hjp On Thu, 2008-04-17 at 09:17 +0100, Gordan Bobic wrote: > > 2. qdisk doesn't work. 2- node cluster.
