Description Lon Hohberger 2003-10-16 13:44:13 UTC
NOTE: Double-Fault.  Red Hat does not generally support this kind of situation.

Behavior in event of loss of IP-tie-breaker is undefined.

Actual results:
Undefined/Unhandled behavior.

Expected results:
Undefined.

Additional info:
Consider monitoring the IP tie-breaker more proactively when a half-split occurs
in the cluster; handle in a similar manner to loss of disk-tie-breaker (ie, loss
of quorum at that point).

Comment 2 Lon Hohberger 2003-10-28 15:30:15 UTC
Cluster handles loss of quorum when tie breaker IP is no longer available. 
However, since this is a double-fault, the cluster requires either:

(a) a majority of real members to return to normal operation afterward (simply
bring the tiebreaker back online is not sufficient), or

(b) restarting the members after the tiebreaker IP comes back online.

Tested, closing as errata.

Fixing product name.  Clumanager on RHEL3 was part of RHCS3, not RHEL3
