A computer-implemented method for managing sub-clusters within dependent clustered computing systems subsequent to partition events may include (1) identifying a first computing cluster and a second computing cluster, (2) determining that the first computing cluster depends on the second computing cluster, (3) detecting a partition event that partitions the first computing cluster into multiple sub-clusters, (4) determining, in response to detecting the partition event, whether the second computing cluster is partitioned into multiple sub-clusters, and (5) making, based at least in part on determining whether the second computing cluster is partitioned into multiple sub-clusters, a fencing decision for the multiple sub-clusters of the first computing cluster. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
