Description Andrew Beekhof 2015-04-22 22:53:59 UTC

Description of problem:

A physical IPMI device can only poweroff a single host.
Most of the time these devices are configured identically throughout the cluster.

We'd like to be able to configure a single fencing device in pacemaker that can be used to talk to all of them.

Pacemaker already has 'pcmk_host_map' which can map a node name to something the fencing agent understands, what we need to complete the picture is for agents like fence_ipmilan to accept 'port' as an alias for 'ip'.

Patch is now in upstream.

Comment 5 Marek Grac 2015-08-05 06:41:19 UTC

Pacemaker support will be added later, for now work-around is in the documentation box.

Comment 7 Marek Grac 2015-08-10 14:50:43 UTC

ok, I can see the problem now. It will be fixed in next build.

Comment 9 Steven J. Levine 2015-11-02 15:46:26 UTC

Adding summary line in Doc text to be used as title for release note automatic-formatting.
