mmm...i'm mounting gfs in virtual machines with fence_xvm enabled for
each one domU, and fence_xvmd daemon running on each Dom0.
if i simply do
#xm destroy phptest
ehre phptest is a virtual machine
no one is able to write again on the gfs, and i get in /var/log/messages:
fenced[1222]: fence "phptest.cluster.local" failed
Mar 18 16:44:43 php01 fenced[1222]: fencing node "phptest.cluster.local"
Mar 18 16:44:43 php01 ccsd[1169]: process_get: Invalid connection
descriptor received.
Mar 18 16:44:43 php01 ccsd[1169]: Error while processing get: Invalid
request descriptor
until that node is in the cluster again.
So in this case, the vm php01 can't fence the vm phptest


but it works only if i issue
#fence_xvm -H phptest -a 239.192.111.136
where 239.192.111.136 is the multicast of fence_xvmd daemon

i believe i have configured something wrong...but what?
