Re: Voting disk TIE

Both nodes would shut down. Fully supported though.

A node requires more than half of the voting disks to stay alive. If you have 6 disks for example, 4 are required to stay alive; you can only tolerate losing 2. Thus you might as well have 5 disks in that case since with 5 disks you can still tolerate the loss of 2 of them.
