[Ocfs2-users] about 2 nodes enviroment and metalink note 394827.1

[dballester.david at gmail.com]

Hi to all:

In 2 nodes environment I've 'suffered' the 'reboot 1st node hangs 2nd
one', has described in metalink note 394827.1

Exactly this note says that this occurs when interconnect fails. Then i
understand that if interconnect fails the idea is that node 1 stay up
and running and node 2 'kills' itself to avoid split-brain. 

When 1st node reboots ( planned reboot )  ocfs2 thinks that interconnect
has failed? If this is true, the cluster is condemned to die, cause node
1 is rebooting and node 2 kills itself, isn't it?

Under a well know 2 nodes environment, does not exist some type of
message like '2nd node,I'm rebooting, don't panic and stay tuned ' ? :)

Any tip to avoid this behaviour ?

I think that one way ( not optimal in any way ) could be adding another
node, only for ocfs2,  to help second node to think that it is in the
max nodes group, when the 1st node reboots...


Regards and TIA
