Hi all, well to be honest I don't know that much about STONITH yet, but I know what it's supposed to do. In our setup we have only 2 nodes, running Heartbeat 2.14 connected via a cross-over cable (side question, is it possible to use more then one NIC to connect the two servers, thus when one fails a backup NIC is always available?).
Right now when the link is severed we have a split-brain state, since each node thinks that the other one is dead. Now I did some research about STONITH devices, but there is not that much information. I know that we could use an UPS from APC for example, and if a split-brain occurs each server tries to telnet into the UPS and turn off the power for the other machine. Now my boss don't really like this idea because if we connect both servers to the same UPS we have a single point of failure again. Is there any other solution for a STONITH device which is not a spof?
