This is where fence_xvm comes in handy. It consists of two parts: The agent itself which resides in the /sbin dir of each virtual node, and a fence_xvm daemon (fence_xvmd) which runs on the hardware supporting the virtual nodes (the outer cluster). The daemon listens for fencing requests from the agents on the virtual nodes, and then does the deed: quickly, and without remorse. ;) Selecting the luci option to run XVM fence daemon places a configuration setting in the outer clusters' cluster.conf file indicating this daemon needs to be started when the outer cluster starts. You will still need to configure the virtual nodes to use fence_xvm though. -j > > > > > > > > > > -- > > Linux-cluster mailing list > > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster > > > > > -- > Linux-cluster mailing list > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
