GFS volumes will wait until fence reports back an exit status before resuming activity. Running a shutdown command that could take 30+ seconds would be disastrous IMHO. It would lock up your cluster for quite some time. -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brieseneck, Arne, VF-Group Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 10:00 AM To: linux clustering Subject: Node fencing via 'ssh/shutdown -r now' possible Hi all, Has anybody an idea if it would be possible to fence first via a controlled shutdown and if that one failed after a while go to the second fencing via fence_impi? The advantage would be, that the filesystem of the fenced node have a better chance to be intact after shutdown then power cut off.
