J4400 as Quorum Device

807567Feb 3 2009 — edited Feb 25 2009
I'm having some troubles getting Sun Cluster 3.2u1 or u2 working properly with our quorum devices. I have a 2 node cluster, interconnected with crossovers to nge2 and nge3 on each machine. They're both connected to two J4400s (each node has a SAS connection to each J4400), and can see and use all disks properly. When I install/setup the cluster, things go fine until I reboot one of the nodes. Instead of the other node attempting to failover, it panics, as it can't obtain quorum. clquorum shows i have 2 nodes present out of 3, even when both servers and the quorum device are all online and contributing a vote each. It seems that the quorum device on our J4400 isn't working properly, even though it thinks it is.

clquorum status shows:

When I check /var/adm/messages on the cluster nodes, i see:

All of my searching has come up with not much. I'm new to Sun Cluster and Solaris, so I know I'm doing something wrong. Most likely, it's painfully obvious. Any help would be much appreciated.
