Hmm, here is an example. Re: [Ocfs2-users] Also just a comment to the Oracle guys

[Alexei_Roudnev]

Additional info - node had not ANY active OCFSv2 operations (OCFSv2 used for backups only and from another node only). So, if system just SUSPEND all FS operations and try to rejoin to the cluster, it all could work (moreover, connection to the disk system was intact, so it could close file sytem gracefully).

It reveals 3 problems at once:
- single heartbeat link (instead of multiple links)
- timeout too short (ethernet can't guarantee 10 seconds, it can guarantee 1 minute minimum);
- fencing even if system is passive and can remount / reconnect instead of rebooting.

All we did in the lab was _disconnect 1 of trunks between switches for a few seconds, then insert it back into the socket_. No one other application failed
(including heartbeat clusters). Database cluster was not doing anything on OCFS in time of failure (even backups).

I will try heartbeat between loopback interfaces (and OCFS protocol) next time (I am just curios if it can provide 10 seconds for network reconfiguration).
