Hello again, I have another question about CSv3U6 under the following environment: * using Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES v3 Update 6 (cannot update to U7 because Adaptec's SAS controller driver officialy supports only RHEL3U6) * using Cluster Suite v3U6 (latest packages, clumanager-1.2.28-1) * 2-node cluster with IBM xSeries 366 servers * storage is a NetApp FAS270c * shared state (quorum) managed over an iSCSI LUN on the NetApp * using Red Hat's latest release of iscsi-initiator-utils (v 3.6.3-3) * storage volumes for services accessed through NFS on the NetApp * access to the storage done on a separate VLAN with Linux 802.3ad channel bonding configured, using Cisco switches with port configured for LACP link aggregation * NetApp also configured for access in the network using link aggregation We configured fencing using IPMI over LAN. Although it works ok, it takes almot 5 minutes for the fencing process to complete, please see these logs: Mar 25 22:52:48 member1 cluquorumd[4112]: <warning> --> Commencing STONITH <-- Mar 25 22:55:00 member1 cluquorumd[4112]: <notice> STONITH: member2 has been fenced! Mar 25 22:57:11 member1 cluquorumd[4112]: <notice> STONITH: member2 is no longer fenced off. Questions: 1. member1 does not take over the services until the fencing process completes, is that correct? 2. if it is a correct behaviour that member1 waits for the fencing completion to take over services, how can I reduce the total fencing time? I didn't find any parameters under the cludb man page for this. Again, thank you all for any help. Regards, Celso. -- Celso K.
