RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Perry Myers 2010-05-11 17:31:37 UTC
Description of problem:
qdisk presently is implemented to provide additional votes per node based on ability to access shared storage.  For multi-site stretch clusters it would be better to implement this using a 3rd site node that is not a cluster member that can be accessed via network.  So if a node can get to this 3rd site via network, it gets the extra vote.

Comment 1 Ryan O'Hara 2010-08-30 20:28:44 UTC
Can this actually be done as a corosync plugin in RHEL6? I'm not convinced it can. Steve seems think that we're stuck with cman infrastructure for quorum related things until RHEL7. If this is true, the solution will need to be like qdisk but over network, with daemon receiving updates.

Comment 2 Lon Hohberger 2010-08-30 20:30:11 UTC
It's possible to use the CMAN API like we do today and implement a very simple client/server protocol to talk to the third site.
