Cluster startup question
Hello.
For an example if we have 2 nodes cluster and if we shutdown both nodes and if I bring the node1 it shouldn't come up until node2 comes right?
Or I need to do gabconfig -c0 to bring up right? Am I wrong?
You query is concerning GAB seeding; please refer to SFHA Solutions 6.0.1: About GAB seeding and its role in VCS and other SFHA products.
In the event that you need to force VCS to start without some of the nodes defined to be part of the cluster, your need to perform a Manual GAB membership seeding on the node that is working.
Refer to the gabconfig man page for more details, but I am pretty sure that "gabconfig -c0" is not going to work as it does not conform the the gabconfig syntax. I thing you generally want to do "gabconfig -cx", after first making sure that there are no pre-existing network partitions.
No if both nodes do not come up, then you need to manually seed cluster using "gabconfig -x"
