Greetings,<BR>
<BR>
I liked the idea of not starting the cluster at boot, and found that the fenced node would reboot and then openais start brought the node onboard without triggering a reboot of the already running node.<BR>
<BR>
Then magic happened. I chkconfig'd openais to start with boot, re-ran the "ifdown eth0" command that had been triggering STONITH and then the STONITH deathmarch, and, well, everything worked. I've done this test many 10s of times without a STONITH deathmarch.<BR>
<BR>
Unfortunately, I haven't a clue as to what was changed that cleared the issue.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for all the suggestions.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
Bob Haxo<BR>
