[Linux-cluster] fence problem on rhel5 and another question

[Matteo Catanese]

 >Make the cman init script not start fenced if you have no shared  
storage

I don't think modifying a red hat vanilla startup script it's a good  
idea.
I will loose all changes in case of a cman package update
Anyway i will try the attached  little patch.

While making this patch i was looking at /etc/init.d/cman script and  
i found this:

if fence_xvmd_enabled() then start fence_xvmd

Can you modify cman script to use something similar for normal fence ?

if fence_enable() then start fence; else don't stress :-)

 >(not even NFS)?

No nfs, nothing, i just need a virtual ip addres.


Now the other question:

Granted that  I dont want to install  non-certified, non-rhn- 
updateable software, the question is: is there something similar to  
DRBD in rhel5 ?

This can be very useful when  you need a little shared partition  
without struggling with an expensive shared storage
