Chapter 7. Configuring a Backup Fencing Method


You can define multiple fencing methods for a node. If fencing fails using the first method, the system will attempt to fence the node using the second method. This chapter provides the procedures for using the Conga configuration tool in a Red Hat cluster to configure a main fencing method and a backup fencing method.
Figure 7.1, “Cluster Configured with Backup Fencing Method” shows the configuration this procedure yields. In this configuration, the main fencing method consists of two APC network power switches, each of which runs on its own separate UPS and has its own unique IP address. Each node in the cluster is connected to a port on each APC switch. As a backup fencing method, each node on this cluster is configured with an IPMI management board as a fencing device.

Note

Note that in this configuration each system has redundant power and is hooked into two independent power sources. This ensures that the IPMI management board in the node would still function as needed in a cluster even if you lose power from one of the sources.
