The SDSMP is inactive at this host.

The SDMP appears to be inactive at this host.

If the SDMP daemon is not responding on the host, wait a few seconds and

retry the command. If the command continues to fail, shut down the matrix

mxsetfence – configure fencing

Synopsis

/opt/polyserve/bin/mxsetfence <fence_agent>

Description

The mxsetfence command is used in conjunction with the mxfencecfg

command to configure flexible fencing without running mxconfig.

The mxsetfence command is run first, and initializes the fence configuration

file /etc/opt/polyserve/fence.conf. It also creates the symbolic link

/opt/polyserve/bin/mxfencecfg, which is linked to the fence configuration

utility for the specified fence agent.

The fence agents are:

fcsan

Fabric fencing.

webmgmt

Server-based fencing.

After running mxsetfence, you will need to configure the fence agent with

mxfencecfg. See “mxfencecfg – configure the fence agent” on page 12 for

more information.
