We are testing with two nodes and "crm configure property no-quorum-policy=ignore". When one node goes down, the other node continues clustering. This is the desired behavior. What will <cman two_node="1" expected_votes="1"> </cman> in cluster.conf do? I was all set to be a smart-ass and say 'man cluster.conf', but the joke is on me as my colleagues do not appear to have documented it anywhere.

So, if we move to the latest stable Pacemaker, Cman and Corosync (and others?), how could this help?

I mean, this NIC stalling at boot time only lasts about 2 seconds beyond the start of corosync. But, its 30 more seconds before the nodes see each other. I see lots of parameters in the totem directive that seem interesting. Would any of them be appropriate.

So, when cman starts corosync, it can't get to the cluster. So, for a time, the node is a member of a cluster-of-one. The cluster-of-one begins starting resources. > > 1. enable two-node mode in cluster.conf (man page should indicate where/how) then disable no-quorum-policy=ignore > 2. configure fencing > 3. find a newer version of pacemaker, we're up to .12 now > >> A few seconds later, when the interface finally is up and ready, it takes about 30 more seconds for the cluster-of-one to finally rejoin the larger cluster.
