It needs to be an odd amount to avoid split brain situations. If you intend running a 2 node cluster then you will need to run cluster services v4 which runs on RHEL4. I can't see how you would cluster without a shared array though. A quorum is essential for the nodes to communicate and store shared cluster configuration. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/cluster-suite/ch-hardware.html These are the hardware requirements for a cluster.
