Hello.
I am currently planning a 2-node cluster based on RHEL 6.5 and the high
availability addon, with the goal of running Oracle 11g in active/passive
failover mode.
The cluster nodes will be physical HP blades
which model and which generation and which ilo version?
if ilo3/ilo4 ( what is case in most recent models of blades / Proliants
) then fence_ipmilan is recommended way.
Here is full list of supported fencing agents with RHEL :
https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/28603 ( you have to have Red Hat
customer portal access to see it - I guess you have it as Red Hat
customer )
, and they will have shared storage for the Oracle data-files on a FC-SAN. That
is, shared block device but using HA LVM so only mounting the filesystem on one
node at a time.
ok!
The way I see it, my fence options are fence_ipmilan but I could also look at
fence_scsi. Should I use only one or both of these?
you can use any of these combination. Be aware that with fence_scsi ( if
used as only fencing method ) cluster node will only be stopped to
access shared storage - no power restart , and you will need manually to
restart it.
This could be overcome if you implement power fencing ( fence_ipmilan )
to restart machine once it has issue.
If both: in what order?
When configured properly fence_ipmilan will do the job, having
additional fencing ( fence_scsi ) method it will introduce additional
complexity in cluster configuration - harder to debug / maintain.
ihmo, fence_ipmilan is good choice.
