Hi,
I was hoping to configure my 2-node cluster to start as soon as both nodes were present but wait up to 15 minutes if the other node was missing upon system startup. In my case, a delay of several minutes is better than a split-brain scenario. The Linux-HA documentation says "The initdead parameter is used to set the time that it takes to declare a cluster node dead when Heartbeat is first started.", so I figured I could just set "initdead 900" in ha.cf. Unfortunately, heartbeat seems to be waiting for the entire initdead time interval regardless of whether all the nodes are present. Does this match others' experiences? Is there a different setting that could accomplish my objective? It seems like the documentation would be more accurate if it said "The initdead parameter is used to set the time that heartbeat waits before starting any resources, which allows time for additional nodes to join." However, I would much prefer that Linux-HA behaved according to the original documentation. I'm using Heartbeat 2.1.4 on RHEL 5.4.
