[Linux-HA] quorumd: Severeal questions

[Michael Schwartzkopff]

Hi,

I was testing the quorumd a little bit. Perhaps I did not understand the 
concept completely. There are some questions left:

1) Does the heartbeat service has to be stared in the quorum server? Does the 
quorm server has to be member of the cluster?

2) Since the quorumd decides what subcluster has quorum, what happens if the 
quorum server goes down? No subcluster receives the HAVEQUORUM tokens any 
more and alls subcluster loose quorum? Is this a kind of SPoF?

3) What is the mechanism of the quorum plugin? Is still true what the 
SplitSite docu page says: "Only if the quorum plugin returns TIEQUORUM the 
tiebraker plugin is called." What happens if if HA_quorum is set?

Thanks for enlighting answers.
