ook wow,  it means if i have set no-quorum-policy to "ignore" it can be used
in more than 2 nodes also.
if it  is 2-2 split then both  partitons will try to stonith each other (.to
get rid of this as you said  we have to set stonith-action=powerfail or will
not have to remove openais from startup service so that it cant get executed
once the node comes up.)

and if we get 3-1 spilit then automatically the partion having 3 nodes will
stonith the 1 node.

Thanks a lot for helping me. and sorry i bugged you lot :)
