[Linux-cluster] fence problem on rhel5

[Matteo Catanese]

Hi, all
im trying to do a HA firewall.

i have 2 machines with RHEL5 + CS

I've configured the cluster with Conga.

I dont have any shared storage, I just rsync by hand any change from  
master machine to slave machine.

Not having shared storage implies no need to use and configure fence  
agent.

But if i cut off power to the master server, then the slave starts  
trying to fence the master and since no fence is configured, fence  
fails forever

Jul 12 12:53:12 fireone fenced[2794]: fencing node "firetwo.i3p.it"
Jul 12 12:53:12 fireone fenced[2794]: fence "firetwo.i3p.it" failed
Jul 12 12:53:17 fireone fenced[2794]: fencing node "firetwo.i3p.it"
Jul 12 12:53:17 fireone fenced[2794]: fence "firetwo.i3p.it" failed
Jul 12 12:53:22 fireone fenced[2794]: fencing node "firetwo.i3p.it"
Jul 12 12:53:22 fireone fenced[2794]: fence "firetwo.i3p.it" failed



I can use fence_manual with a script that always returns succees but  
i dont think this is a clean solution
