In my case, the nodes are connected to a hub, which is in turn connected to the brocade. Do I just use the brocade's port still? I have not been able to find clear information on building a proper cluster.conf file either so have bits of this and that. This is what I've got... you're sample and the bits and pieces I've been using. <?xml version="1.0"?> <cluster config_version="40" name="vgcomp"> <fence_daemon clean_start="1" post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/> <clusternodes> <clusternode name="cweb92.xxx.com" nodeid="92" votes="1"/> <clusternode name="cweb93.xxx.com" nodeid="93" votes="1"/> <clusternode name="cweb94.xxx.com" nodeid="94" votes="1"/> <clusternode name="dev.xxx.com" nodeid="99" votes="1"/> <clusternode name="qm247.xxx.com" nodeid="247" votes="1"/> <clusternode name="qm248.xxx.com" nodeid="248" votes="1"/> <clusternode name="qm249.xxx.com" nodeid="249" votes="1"/> <clusternode name="qm250.xxx.com" nodeid="250" votes="1"/> </clusternodes> <cman/> <fencedevices> <fencedevice agent="fence_brocade" ipaddr="x.x.x.x" login="user" name="brocade" passwd="xxx"/> </fencedevices> <rm> <failoverdomains/> <resources/> </rm> </cluster> Mike On Wed, 13 Sep 2006 17:42:39 +0200, Frank Hellmann wrote: > Hi! > > I can only recommend the system-config-cluster GUI, but if you feel brave > enough you can do it by hand > > This example is for a sanbox2, but it should get you going: > > ... > <fence_daemon post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/> > <clusternodes> > <clusternode name="clusty1" votes="1"> > <fence> > <method name="1"> > <device name="sanbox" port="0"/> > </method> > </fence> > </clusternode> > <clusternode name="clusty2" votes="1"> > <fence> > <method name="1"> > <device name="sanbox" port="1"/> > </method> > </fence> > </clusternode> > .... > </clusternodes> > <fencedevices> > <fencedevice agent="fence_sanbox2" ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" > login="username" name="sanbox" passwd="password"/> > </fencedevices> > ... > > And don't forget to check the fence_brocade manpage for your brocade switch > for further options... > > Cheers, > > Frank... > > isplist@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > I want to use my brocade switch as the > fencing device for my cluster.
