i know that quorum in a "two way cluster" is useless, but i need to 
config cluster in this way :

node 1 votes 1
node 2 votes 2
quorum 2

When all nodes are working total votes is 3, quorum is 2 and all is 
working fine...

if link between nodes is down node 1 alone has no quorum ( votes = 1 ) 
and it has to shutdown his resources while node 2 has quorum ( votes = 
2) and it has to bring up resources. In this way i avoid "split brain 
situation".
I know that in this config i have a single-point-of-failure, infact if 
node 2 goes down, also node 1 goes down ( no quorum ) but for me is ok...
I also plannig to implement some way to fencing nodes, but at the moment 
it's only a simulation lab....
Anyway i still have the problem, node without quorum has not shutdown 
resources, any help for me plese?
