sorry to interrupt in between. just one question from my side.  if
no-quorum-policy is set to freeze then resource is not supposed to stop .

right.

in
that case node will not be fenced right??

no-quorum-policy has nothing to do with fencing.

well, depending on what it's set to, it can prevent fencing (no- quorum-policy != ignore) or cause it to be initiated when quorum is lost (no-quorum-policy == suicide)

but if you're using freeze, and a resource must stop for other reasons but fails to, then the node will not be shot (although it probably should be).

Thanks Andrew,

in case of more then 2 nodes we cant use no-quorum-policy to "ignore" as we cant just ignore quourum. as you said in case of freeze node will not be fenced.

right, but thats a good thing.
It only applies if you have an even split (ie. 2-2) where no-one has quorum. you only want to fence if you plan on taking over the other side's resources - which freeze wont do.

if you get a 3-1 split, then the side that has quorum _will_ shoot the 1 node and take over its resources.


ook wow, it means if i have set no-quorum-policy to "ignore" it can be used in more than 2 nodes also. if it is 2-2 split then both partitons will try to stonith each other (.to get rid of this as you said we have to set stonith- action=powerfail or will not have to remove openais from startup service so that it cant get executed once the node comes up.)

and if we get 3-1 spilit then automatically the partion having 3 nodes will stonith the 1 node.

almost, if you use ignore, the 1 will also try to shoot the 3.

this is why freeze is safer, it:
* keeps running anything it can
* doesn't start anything belonging to the other partition unless it has quorum
* won't try to shoot the other side except if it has majority
