Question

An active, active (mutual takeover) 2-node PowerHA cluster is currently up and stable. Both nodes are located in separate buildings, one kilometer apart. Node2 in SiteB suddenly powers off. On reboot of the failed node, the cluster administrator checks the error log and discovers the node had been halted. The network team confirms there was a temporary loss of the IP network between sites. Why did Node2 halt?
