the second cluster node reboots much quicker.

where should I look for 'a switch' ? ;-)
 
Are you mounting NFS drives, if so look there first.

no, there are no NFS being mounted during reboot. the node is a cluster node and after reboot - after reboot it enters 'boot' node state (no cluster resources are up then).
 
Maybe it's waiting for the quorum to be set?

What type of cluster is it? HAC / VCS?

Do you have a HMC?

HACMP

yes, the systems are under HMC control
 
silly question but i'm gonna ask it! are both systems identical? some times when Ram is bigger the booting becomes slower!

Do you know where the delay is?

If, for example, you start the two servers at the same time do they get to the 'Ta-da-da-daa' screen together (I know there must be a proper name but I hope you know where I mean - the screen where you press F1 to set boot options)

In a very genereral sense, if the delay is before there then it's a hardware/firmware issue. If it's after there then it's a software/OS issue.

Thats just what I was going to say, Boot the system and watch what's it doing through the HMC console. It could also be down to a reverse lookup problem.
