Yes but vmware will restart the node in that circumstance.
I have had issues with my 2 node cluster where 1 node will remove itself because of lack of communication. Very hard to track down when it happens every now and then and only at 1am, I believe because of backup traffic or because its starved of cpu cycles.

What I would like to see happen in that situation if for a reboot to be issued, I know that the node would respond and I know that it would reconnect.

I read that there was a suicide option module that did what I wanted but its not available.

I don't want to setup useid for vmware for each node and configure that. I just want fenced to do a reboot via the os of the node instead of just killing cman 

What I am hearing is that its not available. Is it possible to hook to a custom script on that event, I can write my own restart
