Hello Mike, I'm doing this implementation too. The problem is fence_vmware, 'cause: - Not exist officially on Red Hat - This unofficial fence_vmware (perl) don't compile on x86_64 http://www.tournament.org.il/run/?p=140 http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cluster/fence/agents/vmware/fence_vmware.pl?cvsroot=cluster - I'll be exist on Tech Preview on RHEL 5.3 (phyton), but is not cluster-aware http://www.press.redhat.com/2008/10/29/red-hat-delivers-red-hat-enterprise-linux-53-beta/ The problem is when one Physical Machine goes down. Fence of Virtual Machines works very well using any fence_vmware.

That turns into nonsense because I end up having to call their help line each time I make a change, moving things around while testing. > > Thought I'd ask here since the best directions I've ever gotten were on this list. > > Thanks. > > Mike > > > -- > 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
