OK, I've been thinking over stonith and fencing. And I can see that if all services are being run by heartbeat, they won't get reactivated after a stonith reset. So, the question becomes does a stonith RESET *have* to be an SNMP RESET? I'll have to admit that ideally, yes. So I'll go modify the code. -Philip _______________________________________________________ Linux-HA-Dev: [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha-dev Home Page: http://linux-ha.org/
