Hi, I have the same situation (two_node=1, RHEL5.5, no quorum disk), but it works nice for me. Having both nodes down, starting one node always sucessfully fence the other and this is the expected as Fabio said. In my scenario the fenced node must remain down, even when sucessfully fenced by the remaining node, as long I did shutdown -h on it previously, I halted it. So the fencing (APC power switch) runs ok, it flips off then on the fenced node's outlets, but in this scenario the server bootup is not triggered until a operator press the server's power-on/off button. How it reacts to a power fencing action, it depends sometimes how you configure the server BIOS setting, the Automatic Server Restart options at BIOS level for example. alvaro On 3/22/2011 11:12 AM, Gianluca Cecchi wrote: > Hello, > I'm using latest updates on a 2 nodes rhel 6 based cluster. > At the moment no quorum disk defined, so this line inside cluster.conf > <cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1"/> > > # rpm -q cman rgmanager fence-agents ricci corosync > cman-3.0.12-23.el6_0.6.x86_64 > rgmanager-3.0.12-10.el6.x86_64 > fence-agents-3.0.12-8.el6_0.3.x86_64 > ricci-0.16.2-13.el6.x86_64 > corosync-1.2.3-21.el6_0.1.x86_64 > > # uname -r > 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.x86_64 For RHEL related questions you should always file a ticket with GSS. > > If the initial situation is both nodes down and I start one of them, I > get it powering on the other, that is not my intentional target... > Is this an expected default behaviour in rh el 6 with two nodes > without quorum disk?

The node that is booting/powering on, will gain quorum by itself and since it does not detect the other node for N amount of seconds, it will perform a fencing action to make sure the node is not accessing any shared resource. I am not sure why you want a one node cluster, but one easy workaround is to start both of them at the same time, and then shutdown one of them. At that point they have both seen each other and the one going down will tell the other "I am going offline, no worries, it´s all good".
