<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD set to 601 as the SAN
gets overloaded sometimes and hence causing the nodes to panic<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This value has proven to be more stable than 31. However,
there are sometimes where one of the nodes, for instance node [b] crashes, for
whatever reason. While attempting to startup the troublesome node, auto mount
is enabled but doesn’t succeed, “Transport endpoint is not
connected” is usually displayed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My opinion is this: the mount doesn’t succeed because
node [a] still thinks that node [b] is alive<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’re talking about a restart that can take around 15
minutes, so basically, the threshold is passed<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I was wondering if there is a workaround to kick node [b]
out of the cluster so that it can join it again. What I’ve done so far,
the incident happened once - a month ago, is to restart the cluster services on
both machines. This was very expensive solution as all database instances had
to go down<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
