[ClusterLabs] QDevice vs 3rd host for majority node quorum

[Strahil Nikolov]

In some cases the third location has a single IP and it makes sense to use it as QDevice. If it has multiple network connections to that location - use a full blown node .

No.

Yes. Remote device is unrelated to corosync rings. Qdevice receives
information of current cluster membership from all nodes (point of
view), computes partitions and selects partition that will remain quorate.
