Manual fencing is not in any way supported. You must be able to call 'fence_node ' and have the remote node reset. If this doesn't happen, your fencing is not sufficient. On 10/30/2012 05:43 AM, Zohair Raza wrote: > I have rebuild the setup, and enabled fencing > > Manual fencing (fence_ack_manu

When a node stops responding, it can not be assumes to be dead. It has to be put into a known state, and that is what fencing does. Disabling fencing is like driving without a seatbelt. Ya, it'll save you a bit of time at first, but the first time you get a split-brain, you are going right through
