VOTEQUORUM_QDISK_REGISTER(3) | Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual | VOTEQUORUM_QDISK_REGISTER(3) |
NAME¶
votequorum_qdisk_register - Registers a new quorum device
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <corosync/votequorum.h>
int votequorum_qdisk_register(votequorum_handle_t handle, char * name, unsigned int votes);
DESCRIPTION¶
The votequorum_qdisk_register is used to register a new
quorum device. A quorum device is an external way of adding votes to a small
cluster. The quorum device is, in effect, a pseudo node in the cluster that
provide votes based on some external device, usually a shared disk partition
or perhaps a network router.
This call creates the device but does not mark it active.
votequorum_qdisk_poll must be called for the votes to be included in
the quorum calculation.
Note that it is the responsibility of the quorum device subsystem (not
provided as part of votequorum) to keep all nodes informed of the quorum
device status.
RETURN VALUE¶
This call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
ERRORS¶
The errors are undocumented.
