title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-36.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-36.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
console=ttyS0,115200n8 acpi=off
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-36.el5.img
In this example,
acpi=off
has been appended to the kernel boot command line — the line
starting with "kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-36.el5".

4. Configuring max_luns
It is not necessary to configure
max_luns
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases prior to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, if RAID storage in a
cluster presents multiple LUNs, it is necessary to enable access to those LUNs by configuring
max_luns
(or
max_scsi_luns
for 2.4 kernels) in the
/etc/modprobe.conf
file of each node. In
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, cluster nodes detect multiple LUNs without intervention required; it
is not necessary to configure
max_luns
to detect multiple LUNs.
5. Considerations for Using Quorum Disk
Quorum Disk is a disk-based quorum daemon,
qdiskd
, that provides supplemental heuristics to
determine node fitness. With heuristics you can determine factors that are important to the
operation of the node in the event of a network partition. For example, in a four-node cluster
with a 3:1 split, ordinarily, the three nodes automatically "win" because of the three-to-one
majority. Under those circumstances, the one node is fenced. With
qdiskd
however, you can
set up heuristics that allow the one node to win based on access to a critical resource (for
example, a critical network path). If your cluster requires additional methods of determining
node health, then you should configure
qdiskd
to meet those needs.
Note
Configuring
qdiskd
is not required unless you have special requirements for
node health. An example of a special requirement is an "all-but-one"
configuration. In an all-but-one configuration,
qdiskd
is configured to provide
enough quorum votes to maintain quorum even though only one node is working.
