Fencing

If during the SFCFS installation procedure you chose to enable fencing but have yet to configure the coordinator disks, Cluster Volume Manager will not join the cluster. If you choose to disable fencing, or if fencing cannot be supported in the current configuration, the following steps will disable fencing and allow shared disk groups to join:

  1. Create the file /etc/vxfenmode on each node (if it does not already exist).
  2. Add the string vxfen_mode=disabled to the file.

      Note   Steps 1 and 2 are performed automatically when you use the CPI installer script to configure the cluster in the disabled fencing mode.
