VOTEQ...GISTER(3) Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual VOTEQ...GISTER(3) NAME votequorum_qdevice_register - Registers a new quorum device SYNOPSIS #include <corosync/votequorum.h> int votequorum_qdevice_register(votequorum_handle_t handle, const char * name); DESCRIPTION The votequorum_qdevice_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_qde- vice_poll must be called for the votes to be included in the quorum calcu- lation. name is string containing an informative name for the quorum device. It is simply stored by votequorum and used in the display of corosync-quorumtool, it can be a maximum of 254 characters. The number of votes contributed by the quorum device is already known to votequorum, it is set in cmap quorum.device.votes and not by the device. Note that it is the responsibility of the quorum device subsystem (not pro- vided as part of votequorum) to keep all nodes informed of the quorum de- vice status. RETURN VALUE This call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is re- turned.
