Back in those days, Piranha didn't really support shared storage
failover clustering. It relied entirely on its serial/network heartbeats
to perform its status checks between the two nodes.

But that was before Red Hat Cluster Manager came out, which is several
light years more advanced than Piranha, and Piranha is now only
supported as a front end to ipvs. You could probably still configure
Piranha as a two node HA cluster using only serial/network heartbeats,
but Red Hat stopped supporting that configuration about a year and a
half ago.
