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 cluster.
       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.
