## 9.4.2 Configuring the split and merge policy by using clmgr 

The clmgr  utility has the following changes for the split and merge policy configuration (Figure 9-29): 

GLYPH<SM590000> There is a new none  option for the merge policy. 

GLYPH<SM590000> There is a local and remote quorum directory. 

GLYPH<SM590000> There are new diable_rgs_autostart  and disable_cluster_services_autostart  options for the action plan.

The split and merge policy of none/none  can be configured only by using clmgr , as shown in Example 9-8. There is no SMIT option to configure this option. 

# clmgr modify cluster SPLIT_POLICY=none MERGE_POLICY=none The PowerHA SystemMirror split and merge policies have been updated. Current policies are: Split Handling Policy : None Merge Handling Policy : None Split and Merge Action Plan : Reboot 

The configuration must be synchronized to propagate this change across the cluster. 

## 9.4.3 Starting cluster services after a split 

If the split and merge action plan of Disable cluster services auto start  is chosen in the configuration, then when a split event occurs, the losing partition nodes are restarted without bringing the cluster services online until these services are manually enabled.
