Hi all, >From RHCS documentation, I could see that bladecenter is one of the fence devices - http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Cluster_Administration/ap-fence-device-param-CA.html Table B.9. IBM Blade Center Field Description Name A name for the IBM BladeCenter device connected to the cluster. IP Address The IP address assigned to the device. Login The login name used to access the device. Password The password used to authenticate the connection to the device. Password Script (optional) The script that supplies a password for access to the fence device. Using this supersedes the Password parameter. Blade The blade of the device. Use SSH (Rhel 5.4 and later) Indicates that system will use SSH to access the device. As per my understanding, IP address is IP address of management module of IBM blade center, login/password represent credentials to access the same. However did not get the parameter 'Blade'. How does it play role in fencing? In a situation where there are two blades - Blade-1 and Blade-2 and if Blade-1 goes down(hardware node failure), Blade-2 should fence out Blade-1, in that situation fenced on Blade-2 should power off(?) blade-2 using fence_bladecenter, so how should below sniplet of cluster.conf file should look like? - <clusternodes> <clusternode name="blade1" nodeid="1" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="1"> <device blade="?????" name="BLADECENTER"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> <clusternode name="blade2" nodeid="2" votes="1"> <fence> <method name="1"> <device blade="????" name="BLADECENTER"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> </clusternodes> In which situation fence_bladecenter would be used to power on the blade?
