Thanks Honza. I guess qnetd+booth will be best in my case as you also suggested. Regards, Rohit On Tue, Jul 14, 2020 at 5:19 PM Jan Friesse wrote: > Rohit, > > > I dont think my question was very clear. I am strictly NO for STONITH. > > STONITH is limited only for kvm or HP machines. That's

Rohit, I dont think my question was very clear. I am strictly NO for STONITH. STONITH is limited only for kvm or HP machines. That's the reason I don't Nope, stonith is not limited only for KVM or HP machine. There is huge amount of fence agents for various HW and VMs

I dont think my question was very clear. I am strictly NO for STONITH. STONITH is limited only for kvm or HP machines. That's the reason I don't want to use STONITH. What my question is can I use booth with nodes of a single cluster also (similar to qdevice)? So idea is to use booth arbitrator for

Rohit, Thanks Honja. That's helpful. Let's say I don't use qnetd, can I achieve same with booth arbitrator? That means to have two two-node clusters. Two-node cluster without fencing is strictly no. Booth arbitrator works for geo-clusters, can the same arbitrator be reused for local

Rohit, Hi Team, Can I execute corosync-qnetd and booth-arbitrator on the same VM in a different geo site? What's the recommendation? Will it have any limitations in a production deployment? There is no technical limitation. Both qnetd and booth are very lightweight and work just fine with
