Hi!

Comments for Chapter 6:

1) Name of the chapter. Although we actually have implemented support 
for limited functionality during the time when both system controllers 
are absent, this is not the main purpose of the feature and thus I think 
the name of the chapter is misleading. The main purpose of the sc 
absence feature is to let the cluster survive a (near) simultaneous 
failure of both system controllers. Maybe it would be better to simply 
give the chapter the same name as the feature: "SC Absence", or "System 
Controller Absence".

2) OpenSAF version: Didn't we introduce this feature already in OpenSAF 
5.0, not 5.1 as stated here?

3) List of services that support this feature: Although SMF doesn't 
provide any service while the system controllers are absent, the SMF 
service does support and is compatible with the SC absence feature. I 
think we should list the OpenSAF services that are compatible with (and 
tested with) the feature, regardless of whether they provide any service 
or not during a period of SC absence.

4) Section 6.1 - 6.6 should be deleted. We shouldn't duplicate the text 
from other PRs in here, and I don't think it is a good idea to provide a 
reference to the exact section numbers in other documents either - these 
documents may later be modified so that the reference is no longer 
pointing to the correct section, and there would be a high risk that we 
forget to update the references in this document. We could instead 
simply with one sentence mention that the PRs for each individual 
service gives additional details of how SC absence is handled by that 
OpenSAF service, without pointing to any exact section in any of these 
documents.

regards,
Anders Widell
