When I/O fencing starts, the vxfen startup script creates this /etc/vxfentab file on each node. The startup script uses the contents of the /etc/vxfendg and /etc/vxfenmode files. Any time a system is rebooted, the fencing driver reinitializes the vxfentab file with the current list of all the coordinator points.
Note: |
The /etc/vxfentab file is a generated file; do not modify this file. |
For disk-based I/O fencing, the /etc/vxfentab file on each node contains a list of all paths to each coordinator disk along with its unique disk identifier. A space separates the path and the unique disk identifier. An example of the /etc/vxfentab file in a disk-based fencing configuration on one node resembles as follows:
For server-based fencing, the /etc/vxfentab file also includes the security settings information.
For server-based fencing with single CP server, the /etc/vxfentab file also includes the single_cp settings information.
This file is not applicable for majority-based fencing.
