Description

I'm looking at how we might add this list of limitations as a note to the section of the cluster admin guide where we mention that SCSI fencing is one of the fence devices that you can configure (although we don't currently document much more than that). We also provide a table of fence SCSI parameters, and I can reference the limitations there as well, or at least point to where we describe them. But my question is: Should this information go in the fence_scsi man page? That is currently where SCSI fencing is documented, and is probably where people go for information on configuring SCSI fencing. I have opened BUG 510042 as a separate bug to note that these limitations are not documented in the fence_scsi man page. The fence_scsi limitations are documented here, it turns out: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/SCSI_FencingConfig So the issue may be how to be sure people see that info. Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: *** DRAFT *** Need to create kbase article based on: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/SCSI_FencingConfig And mention this kbase in release notes *** DRAFT *** Changed component to Cluster_Administration. The previous component selected was not specific enough. I have filed BUG 510353 to separate out the kbase article request from this bug. This bug will be closed when I add the information to the Cluster Admin Guide. Deleted Release Notes Contents. Old Contents: *** DRAFT *** Need to create kbase article based on: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/SCSI_FencingConfig And mention this kbase in release notes *** DRAFT *** To jwest: I have added a note about SCSI fence limitations in two places to a draft version of a RHEL 5.3 update of the cluster admin guide, which are the places we mention SCSI fencing. - Section 3.5, Configuring Fence Devices, in the chapter on Configuring Red Hat Cluster with Conga. I will attach this to the next comment as fencedevice1.ps. - At the end of Table B.15 in Appendix B, where we list the parameters for the fence devices. I will attach this to a subsequent comment as fencedevice2.ps. Created attachment 354546 [details]
