Power save aka powersave
OES Clustering
Situation
The power save feature of SUSE Linux platforms is enabled by
default and there appears to be no way to turn it off via YAST or
other utilities.
Some users have reported that powersaving mode can interfere with OES clustering causing node castouts. It hasn't fully been established why powersaving might interfere with clustering but disabling it has been demonstrated to work for some users.

Resolution
The following command line will turn powersaving off
permanently:
chkconfig powersaved off
