File System 21 There are two fencing methods (HP recommends iLO based fencing): • FibreChannel Switch-based fencing. When a server needs to be fenced, HP Clustered File System will disable the server's access in the FibreChannel fabric. The server must be rebooted to regain access to the SAN - HP ProLiant DL380G5-WSS | HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.2.1 Windows St - Page 26
to connect to the Management Console. Later in this procedure the complete cluster configuration will be exported to the other servers that will be in the cluster. During the export, HP Clustered File System will, where possible, use the information that you specified on the Fencing tab to configure - HP ProLiant DL380G5-WSS | HP StorageWorks Clustered File System 3.2.1 Windows St - Page 27
