vxfenmode file parameters (continued)
Descriptionvxfenmode File
Parameter
Security parameter 1 indicates that Symantec Product
Authentication Service is used for CP server communications.
Security parameter 0 indicates that communication with the
CP server is made in non-secure mode.
The default security value is 1.
Note: Symantec only supports a configuration where both
the CP server and client sides have the same security setting.
The security setting on both sides must be either enabled or
disabled.
security
Coordination point parameters.
Enter either the Virtual IP address or FQHN (whichever is
accessible) of the CP server.
Note: Whenever coordinator disks are used in an I/O fencing
configuration, a disk group has to be created (vxfendg) and
specified in the /etc/vxfenmode file. Additionally, the
customized fencing framework also generates the
/etc/vxfentab file which specifies the security setting and the
coordination points (all the CP servers and the disks from disk
group specified in /etc/vxfenmode file).
cps1, cps2, cps3, or
vxfendg
Value 1 for single_cp parameter indicates that the
server-based fencing uses a single highly available CP server
as its only coordination point.
Value 0 for single_cp parameter indicates that the
server-based fencing uses at least three coordination points.
