Appendix B. Fence Device

Parameters

This appendix provides tables with parameter descriptions of fence devices.

Note

Certain fence devices have an optional Password Script parameter. The Pass-

word Scriptparameter allows specifying that a fence-device password is supplied

from a script rather than from the Password parameter. Using the Password

Script parameter supersedes the Password parameter, allowing passwords to not

be visible in the cluster configuration file (/etc/cluster/cluster.conf).

Field Description

Name A name for the APC device connected to the cluster.

IP Address The IP address assigned to the device.

Password The password used to authenticate the connection to the device.

Password

Script

(optional)

The script that supplies a password for access to the fence device. Using this

supersedes the Password parameter.
