[Linux-cluster] Re: More CS4 fencing fun

[Matteo Catanese]

Ok the WOW blackmail was enough for me :-)

For a number  reasons i cant buy a WTI or whatever.


I have a MSA1000 with dual controller and dual Storageworks fabric  
switches.

Those switches are OEM version of Brocade Silkworm 2x00.

Each one have a management ethernet port.

Can i use those ports as a 2nd (and 3d) fence device ?


Dl380 have qlogic FC adapter.

Vanilla qlogic kernel driver supplies IP over fibre facility,  
allowing the fence_agent to reach the fabric switch
by means of fibre avoiding all mess with ethernet.

 >>The qla2xip driver will create a network-interface binding to each  
IP-capable recognized HBA. Binding entries can be viewed from the  
messages file after the IP driver has loaded:
 >>qla2xip: QLogic IP via Fibre Channel Network Driver
 >>qla2xip: Driver Version 1.0b2, Entry point: e08e5060
 >>qla2xip: Mapping interface fc0 to HBA 210100e08b20a15b
 >>qla2xip: Mapping interface fc1 to HBA 210200e08b40a25b

Unfortunatelly  neither red hat driver nor HP one support this  
facility so i must use the ethernet port.
