Yes because of the licensing issue we are now limited to a single San but not in the future.

Two at the data center and one at the DR site. If the nodes at DR site break/turnoff, all the services move to DR node. But if the 2 nodes at the data center lost communication with the DR node, I am not sure how does the cluster handles the split brain. So I am looking for some recommendation in this kind of scenario. I am usig Qdisk votes (=3) in this case. --Here is the cman_tool stat -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
