hello,
I'm experiencing some problems with cluster fencing.
First lets start with the specs:
it's two node-cluster (Sun X4100) running RHEL4 Update 4 and RHCS 4
the machines both have ILOM device that acts as a first level of fencing.
then there is a second level of fencing that is performed by an UPS.
my problem is the following:
if i shutdown one of the nodes (simulating a power failure) the other
tries to fence the failed node. So far so good.
The problem is that since the ILOM in the node is offline the second
node keeps trying to fence the ILOM device and never gives up!
According to what I've read on the FAQ about fencing levels, if the
first level fails it should go to the second level, and so on...
But it never does this!
Here a copy of th /var/log/messages:
Dec 11 17:50:28 node_b kernel: CMAN: removing node node_a from the

I would like to know a way to solve this problem.... :-)
