Adding a Witness Node to a Two-Node Cluster
GUI will not automatically connect to the other servers with established communication paths. As
this behavior is not typical LifeKeeper GUI behavior, it may lead an installer to incorrectly conclude
that there is a network or other configuration problem. To use the LifeKeeper GUI on a witness server
with this setting, connect manually to one of the other nodes in the cluster, and the remaining nodes in
the cluster will be shown in the GUI correctly.
Note: To prevent witness checks from being performed on all systems in all clusters, the witness_
mode should always be set to none/off on shared, dedicated quorum witness nodes.
Adding a Witness Node to a Two-Node Cluster

Package for LifeKeeper by adding a third “witness” node.
