Issue

Due to a software defect, there could be a discrepancy in the view of an internal module called Cluster Liveness and Availability Monitor (CLAM), as a result of which one node in a 2N cluster doesn't consider the other node as its HA partner.
When CLAM goes out of quorum due to connectivity loss, this discrepancy leads to serving SCSI blade (kernel module) being made offline. If, for any reason, the other node takes long to come up, issue gets aggravated and can lead to serious SAN outages.
