What is a Split brain scenario ?

Answer Posted / harish samudrala

in a two node active-passive environment , if the heart beat
gets timed out then the passive server thinks the other node
is down and makes itself up and live for the traffic.

this is called a split brain condition, and there is high
chances of data corruption, to avoid that we have the
concept of iofencing.
