Thanks for the tip, Jakov. regards, alvaro > ¿any experiences over this issue? It's because you still have SPOF. In this case, SPOF is the electronic module of the powerswitch, so, if the electronics go down, there's no way to fence the node. It would be better to have for example iDRAC or IPMI

Hi, I am configuring a service that uses HA-LVM and XFS filesystem on top of it. The filesystem will be backed up by a separate script run from cron(8) creating an LVM snapshot of the filesystem and mounting it on a mountpoint. To have a foolproof HA service I need to: - Check, if the sna

If you "disable" a service it won't start up again without manual intervention, like with "clusvcadm -e...". If you "stop" a service and let's say the node it was running on was rebooted, your service will start up on another node in the cluster if it was configured to do so. Greg Charles gch
