<h1 class="topictitle1">Cluster partition</h1>
|
|
<div><p>A <dfn class="term">cluster partition</dfn> is a subset of the active cluster
|
|
nodes that results from a communications failure. Members of a partition maintain
|
|
connectivity with each other.</p>
|
|
<p>A cluster partition occurs in a cluster whenever communication is lost
|
|
between one or more nodes in the cluster and a failure of the lost nodes cannot
|
|
be confirmed. When a cluster partition condition is detected, cluster resource
|
|
services limits the types of actions that you can perform on the nodes in
|
|
the cluster partition. Restricting function during a partition is done so
|
|
cluster resource services will be able to merge the partitions once the problem
|
|
that caused it has been fixed.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Certain CRG operations are restricted when
|
|
a cluster is partitioned. For details on which operations are restricted for
|
|
each type of partition, see <a href="../apis/clust3a1TOC.htm">Cluster Resource Group APIs</a>.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If a cluster administrative domain is partitioned, changes
|
|
will continue to be synchronized among the active nodes in each partition.
|
|
When the nodes are merged back together again, the cluster administrative
|
|
domain will propagate all changes made in every partition so that the resources
|
|
are consistent within the active domain.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
