hp mc/serviceguard for Linux configuration guide for HP Netservers

Quorum Server
• In the current release of MC/SG for Linux, the Quorum Server has to be on the same subnet as the
cluster nodes.
• Since only one IP address can be configured for a Quorum Server, it is suggested to configure the LAN
used for the Quorum Server IP address with two or more physical LAN cards using Channel Bonding
to improve the availability of the Quorum Server if a LAN card failure occurs. A node running the
Quorum Server cannot be a member of any cluster that it is providing cluster quorum services to.
• The Quorum Server can provide quorum services for a maximum of two clusters and 8 nodes.
