3.4.0 Matrix Server Installation Guide

Chapter 2: Install PolyServe Matrix Server 23

FibreChannel Switch-Based Fencing

Complete the following on the SAN & Fencing tab:

1. SAN Switches. Specify the hostnames or IP addresses of the

FibreChannel switches that are directly connected to the nodes in the

matrix. Click Add, and then specify the hostname or IP address of the

first FC switch. Repeat this procedure to specify the remaining FC

switches, including cascading switches.

2. SNMP Community String. The default SNMP community string for

Matrix Server is private. If you want to use a custom community

string, enter the appropriate value here. The SNMP community string

must be set to the same value on Matrix Server and on the SAN

switches configured above.

When you have completed the information, go to the Storage Settings tab.

Web Management-Based Fencing

When you select either iSCSI storage or FibreChannel storage with Web

management-based fencing, the SAN & Fencing tab will refresh and ask

you for configuration information. Enter the appropriate information for

the Remote Management Controller associated with the server that you

used to connect to the Management Console.

NOTE: Later in this procedure the complete matrix configuration will be

exported to the other servers that will be in the matrix. During the

export, Matrix Server 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,

Matrix Server will ask for that information for each of the other

servers.
