That is the problem that makes geo-clustering very hard to nearly impossible. You can look at the Booth option for pacemaker, but that requires two (or more) full clusters, plus an arbitrator 3rd location. Outside of this though, there really is no way to have geo/stretch clustering with automatic failover.

Because there could be a network disconnection between datacenters, and
we have no chance to send a stonith signal somewhere.

    Hi Digimer

    I'm using for fencing a remote NAS, attached via iscsi target.
    During network failure, for example on node2, each node try to fence
    other node.
    Fencing action on node1 get success, but on node2 fail, because it
    can't see
    iscsi target(network is down!) .
    I thinks it's the reason why node2 doesn't reboot now, because it
    can't make
    operation on key reservation and watchdog can't check for this.
    When network come back, watchdog can check for key registration and
    reboot
    node2.

    For clustered filesystem I planned to use ping resource with location
    constraint as described here
    
http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.0/html/Pacemaker_Explained/ch09s03s03s02.html
    If the node can't see iscsi target..then..stop AppServer, Filesystem ecc

    But it doesn't works. In the node with network failure i see in the
    log that
    pingd is set to 0 but Filesystem resource doesn't stop.

    I will continue testing...

    Thanks
    Andrea
