[Ocfs2-users] using 2 networks

[Alexei_Roudnev]

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 have OCFSv2 and heartbeat2 integrated (and heartbeat have normal, multi-interface heartbeat).

  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 will not fence a node as long as it is visible on 1 of the 2 (or more) networks?
