So, is there any 8 ports brocade switch that support fencing agent? can Qlogic switch work? If I use a switch without fencing agent, can I use a manual fencing way to get system work? In fact, what I want to study is the Symmetric lock principle, especially at the time concurrent write/read to the storage pool from both nodes, without considering one point failure. Thanks!
