[ClusterLabs] [EXT] [EXT] Re: pacemaker&corosync services shutting off after the network cable is disconnected

[john tillman]

Hello Ulrich,

Thank you for your reply.  I'm sorry my message didn't have the 
configuration explained.  I try not to flood emails with information 
that many may not care about and prefer to reply to the curious with 
specific answers.  I'll add more information to my reply to your next 
message.

Best regards,
John
