It's well known problem and very long lasting request.   Cluster system MUST have more than 1 heartbeat, esp. if it can self-fence.   Temporary solutions - bonding, using loopback + ocpf routing (why not?) , etc - can't garantee normal work in some scenarios.   Btw, new SLES10 promise to hav

What's about integrating OFCVSv2 and heartbeat2? Novell show such system on last LinuxWorld. It can be the best idea. Today I saw a few times, when - we have a few nodes, each have OCFSv2, heartbeat, Oracle RAC, and so on; - they don't interact; - in case of failure (disk, network, so on), differ

As I understand, Ocfs2's heartbeat is disk-based.  Ocfs2 also requires every node to be on the network.  If a node disappears from the network, ocfs2 fences.  What I'd like to find out is if you can put the nodes on 2 more more networks, say a private network, and configure such that ocfs2
