Could you please include a cluster.conf fencing sample on how to
implement this.

The 1855 has a built in ERA controller. You can modify the fencing agents to either send "racadm serveraction powercycle" or install the PERL telent module and create your own fencing script. The former option requires that the rac management software be installed on the host. I havent tested this with the 1855 btw.

The fence_drac agent out on the CVS should work for you. If you cant get it working, let me know, and ill see if I can dig up an 1855 in the lab.
Thanks, jacob

Subject: Fencing agents
I'm implementing a shared storage between multiple (2 at the
moment) Blade machines (Dell PowerEdge 1855) running RHEL4 ES
connected to a EMC AX100 through FC.
The SAN has two FC ports so the need for a FC Switch has not
yet come however we will add other Blades in the coming months.
The one thing I haven't got figured out with GFS and the
Cluster-Suite is the whole idea about fencing.
We have a working setup using Centos rebuilds of the
Cluster-Suite and GFS (http://rpm.karan.org/el4/csgfs/) which
we are not planning to use in the final implementation where
we plan to use the official GFS packages from Red Hat.
The fencing agents in that setup is manual fencing.
Both machines have the file system mounted and there appears
to be no problems.
What does "automatic" fencing have to offer that the manual
fencing lacks.
If we decide to buy the FC switch right away is it recomended
that we buy one of the ones that have fencing agent available
for the Cluster-Suite ?
If can't get our hands on supported FC switchs can we do
fencing in another manner than throught a FC switch ?
