[Linux-cluster] Fencing using brocade

[Frank Hellmann]

Hi!

I can only recommend the system-config-cluster GUI, but if you feel
brave enough you can do it by hand

This example is for a sanbox2, but it should get you going:
 
   ...
        <fence_daemon post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/>
        <clusternodes>
                <clusternode name="clusty1" votes="1">
                        <fence>
                                <method name="1">
                                        <device name="sanbox" port="0"/>
                                </method>
                        </fence>
                </clusternode>
                <clusternode name="clusty2" votes="1">
                        <fence>
                                <method name="1">
                                        <device name="sanbox" port="1"/>
                                </method>
                        </fence>
                </clusternode>
                        ....
        </clusternodes>
        <fencedevices>
                <fencedevice agent="fence_sanbox2"
ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" login="username" name="sanbox" passwd="password"/>
        </fencedevices>
   ...

And don't forget to check the fence_brocade manpage for your brocade
switch for further options...
       
       Cheers,

                Frank...
