Thanks Dominic,
i have two questions now.

1) what does no-quorum-policy= suicide means then?? does it remove the resource completely.

no, the node kills itself and any other node in the partition
this makes no sense in a 2 node cluster because both nodes will do this



2) why each node is thinking itsef as DC as Andrew said after spilit brain election happens and one node is selected as DC.

no, i said after the split-brain is _repaired_ an election occurs.
clearly this can't happen during a split-brian because by definition they can't communicate.

This is not happening in my case.
i dont have any stonith configured in my cluster . do i need stonith to handle spilit brain situation.

The "stop" refers to the resources. policy=stop on a node with no quorum
means: do not run any resources.

"ignore" would mean: run resources even though we don't have quorum
(like the old heartbeat behaviour would be)

"freeze" would mean: run and manage what you did run up to this point,
but don't aquire any other resources.
