Response file variables to configure disk-based I/O fencing

Table: Response file variables specific to configuring disk-based I/O fencing lists the response file variables that specify the required information to configure disk-based I/O fencing for SFCFSHA.

Table: Response file variables specific to configuring disk-based I/O fencing

Variable

List or Scalar

Description

CFG{opt}{fencing}

Scalar

Performs the I/O fencing configuration.

(Required)

CFG{fencing_option}

Scalar

Specifies the I/O fencing configuration mode.

  • 1 - Coordination Point Server-based I/O fencing

  • 2 - Coordinator disk-based I/O fencing

  • 3 - Disabled mode

  • 4 - Fencing migration when the cluster is online

(Required)

CFG {fencing_scsi3_disk_policy}

Scalar

Specifies the I/O fencing mechanism.

This variable is not required if you had configured fencing in disabled mode. For disk-based fencing, you must configure the fencing_scsi3_disk_policy variable and either the fencing_dgname variable or the fencing_newdg_disks variable.

(Optional)

CFG{fencing_dgname}

Scalar

Specifies the disk group for I/O fencing.

(Optional)

Note:

You must define the fencing_dgname variable to use an existing disk group. If you want to create a new disk group, you must use both the fencing_dgname variable and the fencing_newdg_disks variable.

CFG{fencing_newdg_disks}

List

Specifies the disks to use to create a new disk group for I/O fencing.

(Optional)

Note:

You must define the fencing_dgname variable to use an existing disk group. If you want to create a new disk group, you must use both the fencing_dgname variable and the fencing_newdg_disks variable.
