• Dell DRAC
• HP iLO
• IBM RSA II
• IPMI LAN
• RPS10 Serial Switch
This section provides procedures for the following tasks:
• Creating shared fence devices — Refer to Section 5.1, "Creating a Shared Fence Device".
The procedures apply only to creating shared fence devices. You can create non-shared
(and shared) fence devices while configuring nodes (refer to Section 6, "Configuring Cluster
Members").
• Modifying or deleting fence devices — Refer to Section 5.2, "Modifying or Deleting a Fence
Device". The procedures apply to both shared and non-shared fence devices.
The starting point of each procedure is at the cluster-specific page that you navigate to from
Choose a cluster to administer displayed on the cluster tab.

5.1. Creating a Shared Fence Device

To create a shared fence device, follow these steps:
1. At the detailed menu for the cluster (below the clusters menu), click Shared Fence
Devices. Clicking Shared Fence Devices causes the display of the fence devices for a
cluster and causes the display of menu items for fence device configuration: Add a Fence
Device and Configure a Fence Device.
Note
If this is an initial cluster configuration, no fence devices have been created,
and therefore none are displayed.
2. Click Add a Fence Device. Clicking Add a Fence Device causes the Add a Sharable
Fence Device page to be displayed (refer to Figure 2.1, "Fence Device Configuration").
