What is the current recommendation concerning shutting down a cluster node? Is it acceptable to use shutdown or init to reboot an active/running cluster node? I have reviewed the RHCS admin guide and it does not state to *not* use shutdown or init. RHCS RH436 training manual (page 305) says the way to remove a node from the cluster is: umount gfs service rgmanager stop service gfs stop service clvmd stop service cman stop ...and I have found other references that say: Use the "leave cluster" functionality from luci. Also "cman_tool leave". Also fence_ command. In the RH436 class it was verbally discussed during the fencing chapter that it was a bad thing to shutdown a node, but to instead power down the machine which has been implemented in many of the fence_ scripts. So the question is: Is it currently acceptable to use shutdown or init to reboot an active/running cluster node? ~and~ if not, is this documented?
