StorageWorks Clustered File System 28 NOTE: After HP Clustered File System is configured, you can verify that it has the correct information to fence each server. See "Test the Fencing Configuration" on page 39. Select your storage type and, for FibreChannel, specify the fencing method that you - HP ProLiant DL380G5-WSS | HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows St - Page 29

Use one of the following methods. - Enter the hostname or IP address for the Remote - HP ProLiant DL380G5-WSS | HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows St - Page 31
Clustered File System needs to log into a user account on the Remote Management Controller in order to fence the server. Specify the user name and password for the account that you want HP Clustered File System to use. The account must currently exist on the Remote Management Controller. Next, go to - HP ProLiant DL380G5-WSS | HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows St - Page 32
login is not shared, you will be asked for the appropriate logins when the other servers are added to the cluster. 2. Fencing Action. When a server needs to be restricted from the SAN, HP Clustered File System can either power-cycle the server or shut it down. Select the method that you want to use. - HP ProLiant DL380G5-WSS | HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.6.0 Windows St - Page 33
