Regarding active/active cluster quorum partition is require or not? If yes please guide me how to configure to the same.

However, a two-node cluster without a quorum partition may behave badly if the heartbeat connection fails between the nodes: if the chosen fencing mechanism allows the fenced node to reboot, it will then re-establish cluster on its own and fence the other node if the heartbeat connection is still failing. This will cause a see-saw effect until the heartbeat connection is fixed or the admin stops the useless behaviour.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Please see this RedHat tech brief:</P><P><FONT size="2" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">How to Optimally Configure a Quorum Disk in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Clustering and High-Availability Environments</FONT></P><P><A href="https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/216443" target="_blank">https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/216443</A></P> Sun, 25 Nov 2012 18:43:34 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/redhat-6-1-cluster-active-active/m-p/5877937#M53975 Matti_Kurkela 2012-11-25T18:43:34Z
