Hi, I have a three node cluster, of which, one node is perpetually offline. I have the cluster configured with qdisk. Since the third node is always offline, I configured the quorum settings for a two node cluster: * 1 vote assigned to each node * 1 vote assigned to qdisk * expected votes set to 3 The configuration worked perfectly well. I then needed to add a fourth node to the cluster, so I updated the configuration as follows: * 1 vote assigned to each node * 3 votes assigned to qdisk * expected votes set to 4 I then did a ccs_tool update. To have the value of qdisk votes updated, I then did the following: * cman_tool expected -e 3 so as not to lose quorum while the qdisk was offline. I restarted qdiskd on each node in turn, yet the value of votes was not updated. I then stopped qdiskd on _all_ nodes and then started it up on each node one- by-one. Yet, again, the value of votes assigned to the qdisk was not updated. Here's the debug output from when qdiskd starts up: May 19 13:36:52 eru qdiskd[18691]: <debug> 0 heuristics loaded May 19 13:36:52 eru qdiskd[18691]: <debug> Quorum Daemon: 0 heuristics, 5 interval, 5 tko, 3 votes May 19 13:36:52 eru qdiskd[18691]: <debug> Run Flags: 00000031 May 19 13:36:52 eru qdiskd[18692]: <info> Quorum Daemon Initializing May 19 13:36:52 eru qdiskd[18692]: <debug> I/O Size: 512 Page Size: 4096 May 19 13:36:52 eru qdiskd[18692]: <debug> Permanently setting score to 1/1 May 19 13:37:02 eru qdiskd[18692]: <debug> Node 2 is UP May 19 13:37:13 eru qdiskd[18692]: <debug> Node 4 is UP May 19 13:37:18 eru qdiskd[18692]: <info> Initial score 1/1 May 19 13:37:18 eru qdiskd[18692]: <info> Initialization complete May 19 13:37:18 eru qdiskd[18692]: <notice> Score sufficient for master operation (1/1; required=1); upgrading May 19 13:37:28 eru qdiskd[18692]: <debug> Making bid for master May 19 13:37:38 eru qdiskd[18692]: <info> Assuming master role Here's the output of cman_tool status, on the same node: Version: 6.1.0 Config Version: 35 Cluster Name: dom0cluster Cluster Id: 10036 Cluster Member: Yes Cluster Generation: 784 Membership state: Cluster-Member Nodes: 3 Expected votes: 4 Quorum device votes: 1 Total votes: 4 Quorum: 3 Active subsystems: 11 Flags: Dirty Ports Bound: 0 11 177 Node name: eru.san.arda.geodesic.net Node ID: 1 Multicast addresses: 229.192.0.1 Node addresses: 192.168.10.2 The same problem is seen on all the nodes. The updated configuration is read correctly by qdiskd, but once started, the updated votes value isn't used.
