Hi all,
I'm currently testing the new features of corosync 2.4, especially qdevices.
First tests show quite nice results, like having quorum on a single node
left out of a three node cluster.
But what I'm a bit worrying about is what happens if the server where
qnetd runs, or the qdevice daemon fails,
in this case the cluster cannot afford any other loss of a node in my
three node setup as votes expected are
5 and thus 3 are needed for quorum, which I cannot fulfill if the qnetd
does not run run or failed.
So in this case I'm bound to the reliability of the server providing the
qnetd service,
if it fails I cannot afford to loose any other node in my three node
example,
or also in any other example with uneven node count as the qdevice vote
subsystems provides node count -1 votes.
So if I see it correctly QDevices make only sense in case of even node
counts,
maybe especially 2 node setups as if qnetd works we have on more node
which may fail and if qnetd failed
we are as good as without it as qnted provides only one vote here.
Am I missing something, or any thoughts to that?
best regards,
Thomas
