'clustat' and 'cman_tool nodes' show the quorum disk as offline on non-master nodes when using master_wins in RHEL 5
Issue
- The quorum device appears as "offline" in
clustatoutput on the second node of my cluster:
[root@jrummy5-2 ~]# clustat

cman_tool statusshows "Quorum device votes" on the first node in my cluster, but not the second:
