Re: number of voting disk

Hi

I dont get it, does this work as Sun Cluster Quorum Device?

Say we have two nodes, each node is assigned with a vote and voting disk is assigned a third note. In this situation voting disk is used to be a tie breaker, if we increase the number of voting disk to 2, an even number, we can still use them as tie breaker correct?

What is the difference in this case having 2 or 3 voting disks?

Now imagine we have three nodes, node 1, 2 and 3 are assigned a vote. Node 3 is unhealthy, node 1 and 2 forms a sub cluster AFIAK sub cluster with more member usually wins so in this case there is no need to count votes. In othere hand if node 1 and 3 are unhealthy we would have 3 sub clusters and a race will start to grab the voting disk and the one with more votes will stay.

I dont see what is the use of odd number of voting disks in these situations?

Thanks

Alex
