A regular node with local storage can use gnbd_serv to act like an iscsi target, exporting the local storage to the network. The GFS nodes access the storage via the GNBD driver, much like they would using the iSCSI driver. If you are using GNBD to create shared storage, you use fence_gnbd to disable access to that shared storage. Since you are using iSCSI for your shared storeage, you cannot use fence_gnbd to disable access to that storage. Sorry. You need to use another fencing method. -Ben > > > Darrell J.
