Hi Srini,
Thanks for the response.
So are the following statements correct:
If I stop the networking on node 1, node 0 will continue to allow
OCFS2 filesystems to work and not reboot itself.
If I stop the networking on node 0, node 1 (now being the lowest
node?) will continue to allow OCFS2 filesystems to work and not reboot
itself.
In both the cases node 0 will survive, because that's the node that has
lowest node number (defined in cluster.conf). This applies to the
scenario where interconnect went down but nodes are healthy and are
heartbeating to the disk.
I guess I just need to know if it's possible to have a 2 node OCFS2
cluster that will cope with either one of the nodes dying, and have
the remaining node still provide service.
If node 0 itself panics, reboots then node 1 will survive.
Regards,
Mark

In a cluster with more than 2 nodes, if a network on one node goes
down, that node will evict itself but other nodes will survive. But in
a two node cluster, the node with lowest node number will survive no
mater on which node network went down.

Hi,
This is my first post here so please be gentle with me.
My question is, can you have a 2 node OCFS2 cluster, disconnect one
node from the network, and have the remaining node continue to
function normally? Currently we have a 2 node cluster and if we stop
the NIC that has the OCFS2 o2cb net connection running on it, the
other node will reboot itself. I have researched having a 2 node OCFS2
cluster but so far I have been unable to find a clear solution. I have
looked at the FAQ regarding quorum, and my OCFS2 init scripts are
enabled etc.
Is this possible, or should we look at alternative solutions?
Regards,
Mark
