<h1 class="topictitle1">Merge</h1>
<div><p>A <dfn class="term">merge</dfn> operation is similar to a rejoin operation
except that it occurs when nodes that are partitioned begin communicating
again.</p>
<p>The partition may be a true partition in that cluster resource services
is still active on all nodes. However, some nodes cannot communicate with
other nodes due to a communication line failure. Or, the problem may be that
a node actually failed, but was not detected as a failure.</p>
<p>In the first case, the partitions are merged back together automatically
once the communication problem is fixed. This happens when both partitions
periodically try to communicate with the partitioned nodes and eventually
reestablish contact with each other. In the second case, cluster resource
services must be restarted on the failed node by starting the node from any
node in the cluster.</p>
