Starting fencing on the new node

Perform the following steps to start fencing on the new node.

To start fencing on the new node

  1. For disk-based fencing on at least one node, copy the following files from one of the nodes in the existing cluster to the new node:

    For SF Sybase CE:

    For disk-based fencing, copy the following files from one of the nodes in the existing cluster to the new node:

    For AIX:

    For HP-UX:

    For Linux:

    For Solaris:

    /etc/default/vxfen 
    /etc/vxfendg 
    /etc/vxfenmode

    If you are using pure CP server-based fencing on the existing cluster, then only the /etc/vxfenmode file needs to be copied on the new node.

  2. Start fencing on the new node:
    # svcadm enable vxfen
  3. On the new node, verify that the GAB port memberships are a, b, and d:
    # gabconfig -a
    GAB Port Memberships
    ===============================================================
    Port a gen    df204 membership 012
    Port b gen    df20d membership 012
    Port d gen    df20a membership 012
