HA and Fencing

Hi Guys,

I am trying to set up HA on a cluster of 3 ibm X3650 boxes.

I have done the "FENCE_JOIN=yes" in /etc/default/redhat-cluster-pve

and then modified the :"cluster.conf.new"

cp /etc/pve/cluster.conf /etc/pve/cluster.conf.new
nano /etc/pve/cluster.conf.new
ccs_config_validate -v -f /etc/pve/cluster.conf.new

Now when I try to do the following "fence_tool join", I get an error : "fence_tool: fenced not running, no lockfile"

I have tried to reboot all the 3 boxes in the cluster but still no joy.

Here is the config :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster name="bpscluster" config_version="5">
<cman keyfile="/var/lib/pve-cluster/corosync.authkey">
</cman>
<fencedevices>
<fencedevice agent="fence_RSA2" ipaddr="192.168.10.11" login="FENCING" name="Master" passwd="xxxxxxx" secure="1"/>
<fencedevice agent="fence_RSA2" ipaddr="192.168.10.12" login="FENCING" name="Slave01" passwd="xxxxxx" secure="1"/>
<fencedevice agent="fence_RSA2" ipaddr="192.168.10.13" login="FENCING" name="Slave02" passwd="xxxxxx" secure="1"/>
</fencedevices>
<clusternodes>
<clusternode name="master" nodeid="1" votes="1">
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="Master"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="slave01" nodeid="2" votes="1">
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="Slave01"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="slave02" nodeid="3" votes="1">
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="Slave02"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
</clusternodes>
<rm>
<service autostart="1" exclusive="0" name="TestIP" recovery="relocate">
<ip address="192.168.7.180"/>
</service>
</rm>
</cluster>



Could someone help pls?

Cheers
