<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Calibri">This is my first post here so</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">please be gentle with me.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Calibri">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</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> and if we stop the NIC that has the OCFS2 o2cb net connection running on it, the</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">other node</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> will reboot itself.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">I have researched having a 2 node OCFS2 cluster but so far I have been unable to find a clear solution.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> I have looked at the FAQ regarding quorum,</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">and my OCFS2 init scripts are enabled etc.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Is this possible, or should we look at alternative solutions?</FONT></SPAN></P>
