Thanks for the answer. I have actually named switches in a 3 node cluster and will set them up accordingly. THis is how cluster.conf looks like, I am finishing the setup for dev03. <fencedevices> <fencedevice agent="fence_scsi" name="dev02_scsi"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_scsi" name="dev03_scsi"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_scsi" name="dev04_scsi"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_apc" ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" login="xxxxxx" name="PCPS01_dev02" passwd="xxxxxx1"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_apc" ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" login="xxxxxx" name="PCPS02_dev02" passwd="xxxxxx1"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_apc" ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" login="xxxxxx" name="PCPS01_dev04" passwd="xxxxxx1"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_apc" ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" login="xxxxxx" name="PCPS02_dev04" passwd="xxxxxx1"/> </fencedevices> <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 4:32 PM, jim parsons <<a href="mailto:jparsons@redhat.com">jparsons@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Thu, 2008-10-30 at 15:57 -0500, Alan A wrote: > > Hello everyone! > > I have a few short questions.
