Takeover
Node Partner Possible State Description
------------- -------------- -------- -------------------------------------
cluster1-01 cluster1-02 false Connected to cluster-02, Partial
giveback, Takeover is not possible:
The version of software running on
each node of the SFO pair is
incompatible, NVRAM log not synchronized
cluster1-02 cluster1-01 - Waiting for cluster applications to
come online on the local node
Offline applications: mgmt, vldb,
vifmgr, bcomd, crs.
If the ports do not come back up and if Connectivity, Liveliness and Availability Monitor (CLAM) is enabled
- An "out of quorum" panic will occur on one of the nodes.
PANIC : Received PANIC packet from partner, receiving message is (Coredump and takeover initiated because Connectivity, Liveliness and Availability Monitor (CLAM) has determined this node is out of quorum.
- The node that panics will be taken over and the surviving node will be serving all data.
If the ports do not come back up and if Connectivity, Liveliness and Availability Monitor (CLAM) is NOT enabled
- There will not be a storage takeover and both nodes will go out of quorum. Neither node will be serving data.
- See: SU436: [Impact: Critical] CLAM takeover default configuration changed
