Could you please give me reference/case studies of problem about why manual fencing was dropped and how automated fencing is fixing those?
Thanks,
Parvez

What kind of cluster is this - an academic project or production quality
solution?
If its former - go for manual fencing. You wont need fence device but
failover wont be automatic
This is the only sane option; Academic or production. Fencing is an integral part of the cluster and you do yourself no favour by not learning it in an academic setup. "Hydrogen is just a colourless, odourless gas which, if left alone in sufficient quantities for long periods of time, begins to think about itself."
If its later - yes you'll need fence device
