I thought I'd read the faq through, but - well. :) I also thought I'd tried to do that already, but looking back at my old config, I realized that my different fencing methods were actually inside one level... > And here's an example block from the cluster.conf file first it tries > ilo (HP Lights Out), and if that fails, apc (APC Network power > controller) (the ILO sections is probably not correct, I just thew it in > there as an example of how you'd setup the method tags): > <fence> > <method name="ilo"> > <device name="server1-ilo" > option="off"/> > <device name="server1-ilo" > option="on"/> > </method> > <method name="apc"> > <device name="APC01a" port="1" > option="off"/> > <device name="APC01b" port="1" > option="off"/> > <device name="APC01a" port="1" > option="on"/> > <device name="APC01b" port="1" > option="on"/> > </method> > > </fence> Ok, I tried a similar config and it works fine. Thanks again. One obstacle less on our way to a xen-csgfs-clustered imap server :) One thing, though: if the APC controller in the above config fails, it's still a SPOF. Or is there still something I'm missing?-) Thanks again for your answer. --Janne -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
