4.1.0 HP Polyserve Software Installation Guide (T5392-96066, October 2010)

• Web management-based fencing. Matrix Server uses remote management hard-
ware on the server to remove its access to PSFS filesystems. This method is also
called server-based fencing.
Notes regarding fencing
Before configuring fencing, you should be aware of the following:
• If you will be using the Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module on the HP c-Class
Blade System, you must configure web mangement-based fencing. Switch-based
fencing cannot be used with these modules.
• If you will be using IPMI interfaces with web mangement-based fencing, you will
need to change the password from the factory default. The fencing feature will
not work correctly if the password is not changed.
• iSCSI storage must use web management-based fencing.
NOTE:
After Matrix Server is configured, you can verify that it has the correct information
to fence each server. See Test the fencing configuration, page 39.
