Hi,

I'm wondering that quorum server doesn't work, because Alan Robertson mentioned 
it in his LinuxWorld 08 talk. Can someone proof that it isn't working?

Third node solution: I wouldn't be able to use the third machine for more than 
one two-node cluster, right?

best regards
Robert

Hi,

as far as I know the quorum server does not work. You would have to build a 
third node and constraints to prevent resources running on that node.

I would put the third node into a third location.

Comments?
