[Linux-cluster] fence ' node1' failed if etho down

[ESGLinux]

Hi,

first, thank you very much for your answer,

 You are right, I have not fencing devices at all, but for one reason: I
havent!!!

I´m just testing with 2 xen virtual machines running on the same host and
mounting an iscsi disk on other host to simulate shared storage.

on the other hand, I think I don´t understand the concept of fencing,

I try to configure fencing devices with luci, but when I try I don´t know
what to select from the combo of fencing devices. (perphaps manual fencing,
althoug its not recommended for production)

so, as I think this is a newbie and perhaps a silly question,

Can you give any good reference about fencing to learn about it or an
example configuation with fence devices to see how it must be done

thanks again,

ESG
