[Linux-cluster] lost quorum, but the cluster services and GFSare still up

[Dex Chen]

Odd enough! Clustat still reports "Inquorate".
See the screen capture:

Member Status: Inquorate

  Member Name                              Status
  ------ ----                              ------
  c01                                      Offline
  c02                                      Offline
  c03                                      Online, Local, rgmanager

  Service Name         Owner (Last)                   State
  ------- ----         ----- ------                   -----
  c-mgmt               c03                            started
  snapshot             c03                            started
  email_notifier       c03                            started

Thanks,

Dex

CMAN is supposed to deliver (more or less) a STATECHANGE event to
clients.  At that point, quorum is checked by rgmanager, and if the
cluster is no longer quorate, it halts all services immediately.

Are there anything in the logs which would indicate this?  It would look
like:

   <emerg> #1 Quorum Dissolved

Given that you can still access service data (e.g. clustat reports
something), that means that rgmanager can still acquire locks for some
reason (it takes DLM locks before giving out service data...).

Does clustat report that the cluster is quorate or not?
