<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">How does a node in Australia connect to a stonith device in Germany if<br>
the network is down?<br>
Or more generally, how can the nodes in Australia ensure that the<br>
nodes in Germany are not running the same services?<br>
<br>
How do you even know that the nodes in Australia should take over?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>ok so it seems i am missing something here. lets take an example of two nodes cluster. my understanding is , pacemaker cluster will be using one network (bind nw interface) for heartbeat and if it fails then it , both node will be in split brain situation and both will try to fence each other. now for fencing if we are using ilo then , it will be using entirely different network and this way it shoud work . if ilo network becomes down , then off course the stonith will not work. and this will be second failure. here our goal is to prevent single point of failure.<br>
<br>so the above thing should be independent of distance, in spite of we are having local cluster , or extended cluster (whose nodes are spanning across multiple sites) , the stonith behavior should be same. am i wrong?? <br>
