Sorry, maybe I'm missing something, but suppose this scenario (also
remember that, being a 2-node cluster, I had to set
no-quorum-policy="ignore"):
1. the virtual center is unavailable
2. an event occurs that partition the cluster
3. at this point, both the nodes could try to start a filesystem
resource, thus compromising the data safety.
Because of 1, the nodes cannot fence, but will not start resources
without a successful fence completion.
Hence, in the case of a network partition with unavailable fencing setup
and no-quorum-policy=ignore, resources will continue to run where they
were running before the partition. (Which is the best one could hope for
anyway.)
If there's a real outage of one of the nodes, *and* the vcenter is down,
then the surviving node won't take over because it can't fence. That
leaves your data intact and the service down.
Regards,
Lars
