Thanks for the quick response Justin. I've configured Artemis to use replication as the infrastructure for shared-storage isn't... great.
So for my situation at work, the hypervisors tend to randomly die on us (and thus taking the VMs with them). We have 3 zones/hypervisors. I wanted a single master because we do not think the workload is high enough to require more than that. Due to the random hypervisor deaths, I wanted a slave running in each zone. So: zone 1: master zone 2: slave zone 3: slave The zones are connected by a nice giant heavy duty router which handles all traffic, so I find it difficult to imagine that a split brain can occur for that particular reason (perhaps other reasons which I am ignorant to). Speaking of split brains, I haven't really been able to discern how to recover from a split brain. What are the general techniques to recovering from a split brain?
