With regards to my previous post, I assumed that the name applied to the fencing method of a node had some sort of impact, but from what i can see, it seems to just be for reference. I used to maintain consistency in the config file (which i editted manually): <clusternode ...><fence><method name="fabric">....</></> the method name was originally fabric as i was going to use san fabric switching, but this did not work - ILO fencing works well for us however, so "inband" would be a more relevant name. we are making changes that now result in configuration being updated via ccs_tool, which doesn't seem to provide an parameter to configure the method name, and defaults to "single" - so this is inconsistent with naming, but with no real functional affects on the config. thanks again. > > Please correct me if I am wrong > > Regards > > Rajagopal > > -- > Linux-cluster mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster >
