[Pacemaker] Best stonith method to avoid split brain on a drbd cluster

[Johannes Freygner]

Hi,

could somebody give me an idea what will be the best stonith solution on a drbd cluster to avoid split brain if the network between the nodes is lost.

I have already tried to use stonith with ILO, but if the power cable is removed from the node (because we have to service the hardware) the resource will not start on the remaining node, because the remaining node can't fence the removed node.

Thank you in advance,
Regards

Hannes
