4.2. General Properties of Fencing Devices

Note

To disable a fencing device/resource, you can set the target-role as you would for a normal resource.

Note

To prevent a specific node from using a fencing device, you can configure location constraints for the fencing resource.

Table 4.1, “General Properties of Fencing Devices” describes the general properties you can set for fencing devices. Refer to Section 4.3, “Displaying Device-Specific Fencing Options” for information on fencing properties you can set for specific fencing devices.

Note

For information on more advanced fencing configuration properties, see Section 4.9, “Additional Fencing Configuration Options”

Table 4.1. General Properties of Fencing Devices
Field	Type	Default	Description
`priority`	integer	0	The priority of the stonith resource. Devices are tried in order of highest priority to lowest.
`pcmk_host_map`	string		A mapping of host names to ports numbers for devices that do not support host names. For example: `node1:1;node2:2,3` tells the cluster to use port 1 for node1 and ports 2 and 3 for node2
`pcmk_host_list`	string		A list of machines controlled by this device (Optional unless `pcmk_host_check=static-list`).
`pcmk_host_check`	string	dynamic-list	How to determine which machines are controlled by the device. Allowed values: `dynamic-list` (query the device), `static-list` (check the `pcmk_host_list` attribute), none (assume every device can fence every machine)
