Hello, we are running CentOS 4.3 and the latest cluster suite packages
from the csgfs yum repository for this release and need to delete a
cluster member.  According to the documentation we need to restart all
cluster related services on all remaining nodes in the cluster after the
node has been removed.  This is a four node cluster so removing one node
obviously degrades the cluster to three nodes, but we can have the
remaining cluster members recalculate the number of votes to remain
quorate.  It still surprises me that we have to bring down the entire
cluster just because we are deleting a node.  Any feedback as to why
this might be?
