HP StorageWorks X5500 Network Storage Gateway for Linux setup guide (AP811-96003, October 2009)

NOTE:
Later in this procedure the complete cluster configuration will be exported to the other servers that
will be in the cluster. During the export, HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux will, where possible,
use the information that you specified on the SAN & Fencing tab to configure Web management-based
fencing on the other servers. If a particular entry on the SAN & Fencing tab did not apply to all servers,
HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux will ask for that information for each of the other servers.
The Remote Management Controller tab asks for information about the controllers associated with
your servers.
Remote Management Controller Vendor. Select the vendor for your Remote Management Controllers.
If you will be using IPMI as the fencing method, you should be aware that only one IPMI session can
be active at a time. HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux will fail to fence a server if another IPMI
session is already active on that server at the time that the fencing attempt is made.
Remote Management Controller ID. Specify how HP X5500 Storage Gateway for Linux should identify
the Remote Management Controller associated with each server. Use one of the following methods.
• Enter the hostname or IP address for the Remote Management Controller associated with this
cluster server. You will need to use this method if your Remote Management Controllers are from
different vendors.
• Select Cluster-wide Pattern and then specify the common naming scheme that you are using for
the Remote Management Controllers (either a hostname suffix or an IP address delta, as described
below).
• Hostname suffix. Specify the common suffix to append to each server name to determine the as-
sociated Remote Management Controller name. For example, if your server names are server1
