Recreated cluster with just the Intel e1000g as the only functional NIC in each node (disabled on-motherboard NIC in BIOS), and VLAN vmltx1 and vmltx2 created on each node for interconnect. Did not experience the strange slow joins that I experienced when I had dedicated NICs for the interconnect, but I still have a (different from the last go around) node that is stuck "waiting for the quorum" when rebooting.
I will attempt to run a Quorum server on my laptop for the short term to see if this addresses the problem. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
