Re: power controller is interal/loss of pwer prevents failover: any ideas

[Rick Rodgers <rodgersr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes that is what my point is. These systems use the same power cord
for the powercontroller and system power. If you pull the plug then no failover
can happen because the backup node can not shoot the active node because
it can not talk to the active nodes power controller. This means a pull of the plug and
no failover. Seem like we really should havea way to failover.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "if the power controller is
down". These systems can be configured with redundant power supplies
and if both power supplies fail then there's not anything you can do
to fence a system.
