If the 2 nodes have working communication with the 1 node, then the 1 node will leave the cluster in an orderly way, and fencing will not be involved. In that case, yes, quorum is used to prevent the 1 node from starting services until it rejoins the cluster. However, if the 2 nodes lose communication with the 1 node, they cannot be sure it is functioning well enough to respect quorum. In this case, they have to fence it. DLM has to wait for the fencing to succeed to be sure the 1 node is not messing with shared resources. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list: Users@clusterlabs.org http://clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/users Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
