3.2. APC Fence Device Components to Configure

This procedure configures an APC switch as a fence device that will be used for each node in cluster apcclust. Then the procedure configures that switch as the fencing device for clusternode1.example.com, clusternode2.example.com, and clusternode1.example.com.
Table 3.2, “Fence Device Components to Configure for APC Fence Device” summarizes the components of the APC fence device that this procedure configures for each of the cluster nodes in clusternode1.example.com.

Table 3.2. Fence Device Components to Configure for APC Fence Device

Fence Device Component Value Description
Fencing Type APC Power Switch type of fencing device to configure
Name apcfence name of the APC fencing device
IP address 10.15.86.96 IP address of the APC switch to configure as a fence device for node1.example.com, node2.example.com, and node3.example.com
login apclogin login value for the APC switch that controls the power for for clusternode1.example.com, clusternode2.example.com, and clusternode3.example.com
password apcpword password for the APC switch that controls the power for for clusternode1.example.com, clusternode2.example.com, and clusternode3.example.com
Table 3.3, “Fence Agent Components to Specify for Each Node in apcclust ” summarizes the components of the APC fence device that you must specify for the cluster nodes in apcclust.

Table 3.3. Fence Agent Components to Specify for Each Node in apcclust

Fence Agent Component Value Description
fence device apcfence name of the APC fence device you defined as a shared device
port 1 port number on the APC switch for node1.example.com
port 2 port number on the APC switch for node2.example.com
port 3 port number on the APC switch for node3.example.com
The remainder of the fence device components that you configure for each node appear automatically when you specify that you will be configuring the apcfence fence device that you previously defined as a shared fence device.
