There was a message on this list in January to the effect of "does APC
7900 work with fence_apc?" / "I think so ...".
Has anyone confirmed this?
I'm using them in my cluster, they work well with the fence_apc agent.
The only caveat is that the agent won't work if you use outlet groups
for cluster nodes, without a few changes to the agent. I can give you
my modified version if you want to use outlet groups for cluster nodes.
(A patch will be coming that will work with both port group and non-port
group modes, but I haven't had a chance to write it up yet.)
Great, thanks.
I'm new to this sort of hardware, not sure exactly what you mean by
"outlet groups", could you elaborate?
It's a feature on the APC 7900 that will allow a single command to one
7900 to automatically turn off/on ports on other 7900s via the network.
I use it to turn off both power supplies on my cluster nodes at once,
while still providing redundant paths for power.
Ah, I see. Yes, I will probably be wanting to do the same thing, if you
could forward me your patch I'd appreciate it.
