Apologies, I should have been more descriptive.
I am running a dedicated MGS node and MGT device. The MDT is a
standalone RAID-10 shared via SAS between two nodes, one being the
current MDS and the second being the planned secondary MDS. Heartbeat
and stonith w/ ipmi control is currently configured but not started
between the two nodes.
