6.7.4. Configuring a Node with Redundant Power If your cluster is configured with redundant power supplies for your nodes, you must be sure to configure fencing so that your nodes fully shut down when they need to be fenced. If you configure each power supply as a separate fence method, each power supply will be fenced separately; the second power supply will allow the system to continue running when the first power supply is fenced and the system will not be fenced at all. To configure a system with dual power supplies, you must configure your fence devices so that both power supplies are shut off and the system is taken completely down. This requires that you configure two instances within a single fencing method, and that for each instance you configure both fence devices with an action attribute of off before configuring each of the devices with an action attribute of on . To configure fencing for a node with dual power supplies, follow the steps in this section. Before you can configure fencing for a node with redundant power, you must configure each of the power switches as a fence device for the cluster. For information on configuring fence devices, see Section 6.5, "Configuring Fence Devices" . To print a list of fence devices currently configured for your cluster, execute the following command: Add a fence method for the node, providing a name for the fence method. For example, to configure a fence method named APC-dual for the node node-01.example.com in the configuration file on the cluster node node-01.example.com , execute the following command: Add a fence instance for the first power supply to the fence method. You must specify the fence device to use for the node, the node this instance applies to, the name of the method, and any options for this method that are specific to this node. At this point you configure the action attribute as off . For example, to configure a fence instance in the configuration file on the cluster node node-01.example.com that uses the APC switch power port 1 on the fence device named apc1 to fence cluster node node-01.example.com using the method named APC-dual , and setting the action attribute to off , execute the following command: Add a fence instance for the second power supply to the fence method. You must specify the fence device to use for the node, the node this instance applies to, the name of the method, and any options for this method that are specific to this node. At this point you configure the action attribute as off for this instance as well: For example, to configure a second fence instance in the configuration file on the cluster node node-01.example.com that uses the APC switch power port 1 on the fence device named apc2 to fence cluster node node-01.example.com using the same method as you specified for the first instance named APC-dual , and setting the action attribute to off , execute the following command: At this point, add another fence instance for the first power supply to the fence method, configuring the action attribute as on . You must specify the fence device to use for the node, the node this instance applies to, the name of the method, and any options for this method that are specific to this node, and specifying the action attribute as on : For example, to configure a fence instance in the configuration file on the cluster node node-01.example.com that uses the APC switch power port 1 on the fence device named apc1 to fence cluster node node-01.example.com using the method named APC-dual , and setting the action attribute to on , execute the following command: Add another fence instance for second power supply to the fence method, specifying the action attribute as on for this instance. You must specify the fence device to use for the node, the node this instance applies to, the name of the method, and any options for this method that are specific to this node as well as the action attribute of on . For example, to configure a second fence instance in the configuration file on the cluster node node-01.example.com that uses the APC switch power port 1 on the fence device named apc2 to fence cluster node node-01.example.com using the same method as you specified for the first instance named APC-dual and setting the action attribute to on , execute the following command: Example 6.5, " cluster.conf After Adding Dual-Power Fencing " shows a cluster.conf configuration file after you have added fencing for two power supplies for each node in a cluster. Example 6.5. cluster.conf After Adding Dual-Power Fencing Note that when you have finished configuring all of the components of your cluster, you will need to sync the cluster configuration file to all of the nodes, as described in Section 6.15, "Propagating the Configuration File to the Cluster Nodes" .
