- This should work. Most probable cause is a resource shortage on one of the
- nodes, most likely the satellite. I'd check first for a shortage of non-paged
- pool. Only way to know for sure is to get into the hung condition and then
- initiate a crash dump (see the SDA manual) and have someone take a look at it.
- You may have to do this on all 3 systems to find which one is having a problem.

- This is fine. Using expected votes of 1 and giving 1 vote only to VXCRNA would
- have the same effect.

- No need to have ALLOCLASS set to a non-zero value on the satellite VSOPS, or on
- the non-serving node VXCRNZ.
