I wonder if there is a clean way to do that? Rationale: A node should never die. If it does, by definition, an undefined state has occurred, and I would rather not have such a server start without having a chance to look into log files, etc. > can you cut off communications to node 2's ILO from node 1 temporarily? Hmm, good point. The ILO communication happens through cross-over cables with endpoints in the ILO, and in a dedicated NIC. I guess that I may ifdown the interface corresponding to the NIC on Node 1 (the one performing the fencing). -- Greetings from Troels Arvin -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
