Hi, good morning,

1) If I don't set the switch parameter the system-config-cluster program 
says: "A switch address must be provided for this Fence"... for me a 
common address is a dotted quad expression.. what can I put instead of it?
2) For sure I've the fencedevice section configured.. I said the fencing 
IS working.. the only thing is that I don't want the cluster restarts 
nodes but switch them off! If the fencedevice section is missing, 
fencing not works...

The problem actually is that I can't setup the fence system with a power 
off of the nodes, even changing the fence_apc script. All the cluster is 
working good in my test scenario apart that little thing!

Tnx
