4.6.2 How to Choose a New Cluster

1. Determine which subset should form the new cluster. Run the following command on one node in the subset that should abort.

   # scadmin abortpartition

   When the abortpartition command is issued on one node, the Cluster Membership Monitor (CMM) propagates that command to all the nodes in that partition. Therefore, if all nodes in that partition receive the command, they all abort. However, if some of the nodes in the partition cannot be contacted by the CMM, then they have to be manually aborted. Run the scadmin abortpartition command on any remaining nodes that do not abort.

2. Run the following command on one node in the subset that should stay up.

   # scadmin continuepartition

   Note -

   A further reconfiguration occurs if there has been another failure within the new cluster. At all times, only one cluster is active.
