Chapter 5. Configuring Red Hat Cluster With system-config-cluster
Use a Quorum Disk
If you need to use a quorum disk, click the Use a Quorum disk checkbox and enter quorum disk
parameters. The following quorum-disk parameters are available in the dialog box if you enable
Use a Quorum disk: Interval, TKO, Votes, Minimum Score, Device, Label, and Quorum Disk
Heuristic.
Table 5.1, "Quorum-Disk Parameters"
Important
Quorum-disk parameters and heuristics depend on the site environment and special
requirements needed. To understand the use of quorum-disk parameters and
heuristics, refer to the qdisk(5) man page. If you require assistance understanding and
using quorum disk, contact an authorized Red Hat support representative.
Note
It is probable that configuring a quorum disk requires changing quorum-disk
parameters after the initial configuration. The Cluster Configuration Tool (system-
config-cluster) provides only the display of quorum-disk parameters after initial
configuration. If you need to configure quorum disk, consider using Conga instead;
Conga allows modification of quorum disk parameters.
Overall:
While system-config-cluster provides several convenient tools for configuring
and managing a Red Hat Cluster, the newer, more comprehensive tool, Conga,
provides more convenience and flexibility than system-config-cluster. You
may want to consider using Conga instead (refer to
