Munual fencing ?

[baudinpr]

Hi all,

I'm just testing a 3 node PVE 2.3 cluster.
I'm trying manual fencing...

Here my cluster.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster config_version="4" name="CLUSTERNAME">
<cman keyfile="/var/lib/pve-cluster/corosync.authkey"/>
<fencedevices>
<fencedevice agent="fence_manual" name="human"/>
</fencedevices>
<clusternodes>
<clusternode name="proxmox1" nodeid="1" votes="1">
<fence>
<method name="single">
<device name="human" nodename="proxmox1"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="proxmox2" nodeid="2" votes="1">
<fence>
<method name="single">
<device name="human" nodename="proxmox2"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="proxmox3" nodeid="3" votes="1">
<fence>
<method name="single">
<device name="human" nodename="proxmox3"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
</clusternodes>
<rm>
<pvevm autostart="1" vmid="100"/>
</rm>
</cluster>

When I try to fence a node manually using fence_node command, I have the following result:

root@proxmox2:~# fence_node -v proxmox1
fence proxmox1 dev 0.0 agent fence_manual result: error from agent
fence proxmox1 failed

What's the problem ?

Thanks

there is no such fence agent (fence_manual).

for more info, see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Fencing

root@proxmox2:~# fence_node -v proxmox1
fence proxmox1 dev 0.0 agent fence_manual result: error from agent
fence proxmox1 failed

Oh, you want a 'manual' fence agent which works automatically? I guess you need to run 'fence_ack_manual <nodename>' on the fence master .
