Hi, Thanks. The nodes don't have any VIP (Virtual IP) configured. Each of the nodes run "gfs" and "fenced" service. The type of storage is EMC, and if each node has to be able to access the same disk simultaneously the SCSI reserves should be turned off. I am not able to determine how the SCSI reserve's have been turned off and the parameters on which the nodes are fenced. # more /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7) # rpm -qa | egrep -i 'gfs|fence' GFS-6.1.18-1 GFS-kernel-smp-2.6.9-80.9.el4_7.5 fence-1.32.63-1 GFS-kernheaders-2.6.9-80.9.el4_7.5 Thanks, On Sat, Feb 4, 2012 at 10:12 PM, raj sourabh <rajsourabh1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > Node redundancy on redhat cluster depends on how cluster has been > configured.
