What is the most preferable APC rack PDU?

[francisco.]

Hi forum,

I going to change my fence devices, idrac to APC rack PDU. I have 5 servers.

I have seen recommended AP7921 in Proxmox's wiki but which is the most common model?

Regards.

Based on the wiki recommendation i went with the AP7921 few years ago. I have several of them in service and still working great.

Thank you Wasim.

Question, servers have two PSUs, must I connect both to PDU? If so, should I configure 2 fences devices per node?

By the way, I bought your book "Mastering Proxmox", great book!

I believe you will have to configure 2 fence devices since 2 of your PSU will use 2 of the PDU ports.

Exactly, Example 7.7. cluster.conf: Fencing Nodes with Dual Power Supplies.
