Thanks all, But I didn't get - the configuration is backwards!! I'm very new to RHCS but not for Linux Cluster and please help on this. As you know I have 2 fence devices each node has its own. Node1 has HPiLO_node1 Node2 has HPiLO_node2 So I configured as follows <clusternode name="node1" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="1"> <device name="HPiLO_node2"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="node2" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="1"> <device name="HPiLO_node1"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> <fencedevices> <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="10.10.10.1" login="Administrator" name="HPiLO_node1" passwd="RWE232WE"/> <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="10.10.10.2" login="Administrator" name="HPiLO_node2" passwd="QWD31D4D"/> </fencedevices> Is this correct? And I will do what Dave suggests and let you guys know. Before that please advice me is my configuration on fence devices are correct.

So, shouldn't node1 list > HPiLO_node1 as its fence device and node2 list HPiLO_node2? Yes, this is correct - the configuration looks backwards. -- Lon -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
