You need to give a "nodename" attribute to the fence_manual agent somewhere, the error message makes me think it's missing. For example : <fencedevices> <fencedevice agent="fence_manual" name="my_fence_manual"/> </fencedevices> ... <clusternode name="node2" ...> <fence> <method name="1"> <device name="my_fence_manual" nodename="node2"/> </method> </fence> </clusternode> > > fence_ack_manual -n node2 doesn't work saying there is no FIFO in > /tmp. fence_ack_manual -n node2 -e do work and then service S2 fails > over to node2. > > Trying to find out why fence_manual is reporting error? node2 is > pingable hostname and its entry is in /etc/hosts of node1 (and vice > versa).
