Split-brain and jeopardy handling

A split-brain occurs when the cluster membership view differs among the cluster nodes, increasing the chance of data corruption. Membership change also occurs when all private-link cluster interconnects fail simultaneously, or when a node is unable to respond to heartbeat messages.With I/O fencing, the potential for data corruption is eliminated. I/O fencing requires disks that support SCSI-3 PGR.
