HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.1.1 for Linux Installation Guide (May 2006)

Chapter 4: Install HP Clustered File System 36
Test the Fencing Configuration
The Test Fencing button on the ClusterWide Configuration tab can be
used to verify that the fencing configuration is correct for each server.
This feature is particularly useful for Web Management Based Fencing
via Server Reset/Shutdown.
On the Cluster Wide Configuration tab, select one or more servers to test
and click the Test Fencing button. (You cannot select the server being
used to connect to the Management Console.)
Clustered File System then fences the servers in accordance with the
method you specified on the Fencing tab. If the correct server is not
fenced, you will need to check the configuration. For example, if you
specified a pattern for the Remote Management Controller, the server
may not be configured to use that pattern.
If an incorrect hostname or IP address was specified for the Remote
Management Controller associated with the server, export the cluster
configuration to that server again and then supply the correct
information.
Install the Management Console on Other
Hosts
For best performance, the cluster should be monitored from a separate
administrative station rather than from a server in the cluster. The
Management Console software can be installed on either Linux or
Microsoft Windows systems.
