What happens if all nodes lose access to the quorum device in a RHEL cluster?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • What happens if all nodes lose access to the quorum device in a RHEL cluster?
  • I want to avoid all nodes evicting each other or themselves in the event that they lose access to the quorum device (qdisk) simultaneously.
  • How can I configure cluster in such a way that if neither of the hosts can access quorum disk suddenly, they would still stay in cluster and provide services?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 or 6 with the High Availability Add On
  • Cluster configured to use a quorum device
