TOPIC:

In the HA--Lizard_1.8.7 doc I could read

FENCE_MIN_HOSTS
Do not allow fencing when fewer than this number of hosts are remaining in the pool. Default value = 2 which is optimized for a 2-node pool.

Currently I use the default FENCE_METHOD=POOL

I could use FENCE_METHOD=IRMC with my two node pool no-san setup.

My question is, should I better change to IRMC instead of POOL and should I set FENCE_MIN_HOSTS=1 in this case?

You should leave min_hosts set to 2. The second vote will come from checking heuristic_ips to ensure that the surviving host is really live on its management network.

Which fencing method would you prefer to use? (If you would operate Fujitsu nodes with iRMC.)

I am asking this myself as it was mentioned in another thread about a split brain szenario that HW STONITH must be used to prevent that the slave starts a vm before the master is really off.

Is the IRMC logic an advantage compared to the POOL fence method.

If someone would share some thoughts about it...
