My cluster as one interface for production traffic and another for cluster traffic which is a private non routed network. Can the fencing devices be connected to the production? Or they have to been on the same network for cluster traffic?

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> On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 4:32 PM, jim parsons <jparsons@redhat.com> wrote: On Thu, 2008-10-30 at 15:57 -0500, Alan A wrote: > > Hello everyone! > > I have a few short questions.

It is the outlet number on the switch...or the name of the outlet if you have assigned a name to it using the APC firmware application > What is switch(optional) mean? Certain APC switch models can be ganged together. If you are using the switches standalone (which you are, it seems from the above) just leave this field blank. -j -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@redhat.com <A HREF="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster</A> -- Alan A. </BODY> </HTML>
