4.4. Configuring Fence Devices

Configuring fence devices for the cluster consists of selecting one or more fence devices and specifying fence-device-dependent parameters (for example, name, IP address, login, and password).

To configure fence devices, follow these steps:

  1. Click Fence Devices. At the bottom of the right frame (labeled Properties), click the Add a Fence Device button. Clicking Add a Fence Device causes the Fence Device Configuration dialog box to be displayed (refer to Figure 4.4, “Fence Device Configuration”).

  4. Click OK.

  5. Choose File => Save to save the changes to the cluster configuration.
