I'm doing some testing with manual fencing and here's what I've found: Using the RHEL4 branch of code and running on a RHEL4 U1 system manual fencing doesn't seem to work. If I have a simple two node cluster and force a reboot of the primary node (node1 - running the service) the service fails over to the secondary node (node2) and starts running without me having to execute 'fence_ack_manual -n node1'. In fact if I look in look at the /tmp filesystem I don't see the fifo file ever being created. So in fact if I try to execute 'fence_ack_manual' it complains about the fifo file not existing. So it's as if fenced calling fence_manual isn't creating the fifo file to begin with. Using the STABLE branch and building against and 2.6.12 kernel manual fencing works as expected. When I force a reboot of the system running the service, the service doesn't fail over until I manually execute 'fence_ack_manual', then the service starts sucessfully on the remaining node. Any comments? Anyone else observe this same behavior? Is this just broken in the RHEL4 branch? Thanks, Ken -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
