Hey guys,
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have four Dell Optiplex Desktops that have been configured for clustering, which worked just fine. I want to make them HA clusters and the fencing has got me a little bit stumped. I followed the Proxmox wikis on both configuring two node clusters and the specific one to fencing. First, I wanted to know if I could just alter the : <cman two_node="1" expected_votes="1"> </cman> to read
<cman four_node="1" expected_votes="1"> </cman>. Second, all the information I have seen with fencing is on specific equipment, so I'm not sure if this can be possible on a desktop system to begin with. Also, I modified this entry with two more nodes, was that a good choice? :
<fencedevices>
<fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="nodeA.your.domain" login="hpilologin" name="fenceNodeA" passwd="hpilopword"/>
<fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="nodeB.your.domain" login="hpilologin" name="fenceNodeB" passwd="hpilologin"/>
</fencedevices>

ps I altered the hostname to ipaddr and included my addresses and the login="<to my login> as well as the passwd entry, but not the fencedevice agent entry
because I don't know what that is.
Any advice would be greatly appriciated!!
