How did the system react the last time where the interconnect between the two nodes was broken but they were still up and running? And when did you test the fail-over capabilities of your cluster for the last time? What happens if one of your nodes fails and GFS thinks that it will have to fence them until that fencing process is actually done? I'll get a shovel while waiting for the answer. ;-) Best regards Martin -- Martin Gerhard Loschwitz Chief Brand Officer, Principal Consultant hastexo Professional Services http://www.hastexo.com/
