VOTEQUORUM_QDISK_REGISTER(3)			    Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual 		      VOTEQUORUM_QDISK_REGISTER(3)

NAME

       votequorum_qdisk_register - Registers a new quorum device

SYNOPSIS

       #include <corosync/votequorum.h>

       int votequorum_qdisk_register(votequorum_handle_t handle, char * name, unsigned int votes);

DESCRIPTION

       The  votequorum_qdisk_register is used to register a new quorum device. A quorum device is an external way of adding votes to a small clus-
       ter. The quorum device is, in effect, a pseudo node in the cluster that provide votes based on some external device, usually a shared  disk
       partition or perhaps a network router.
       This  call creates the device but does not mark it active.  votequorum_qdisk_poll must be called for the votes to be included in the quorum
       calculation.
       Note that it is the responsibility of the quorum device subsystem (not provided as part of votequorum) to keep all nodes  informed  of  the
       quorum device status.

RETURN VALUE

       This call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.

ERRORS

       The errors are undocumented.
