I use Dell Servers and use the DRAC (Dell Remote Access Card) as the stonith. It supports IPMI and am using external stonith. See my earlier post for setup. About $300/card. I've used wti_nps in the past, but didn't care for the model of switch that I was using as it only allowed one telnet connection. That was a few years back and I'm sure they've got around that limitation. Paid $500, it allowed for 8 power plugs. You may want to check with your hardware vendor and see if they sell a card that supports IPMI. This will allow you to send a command to power cycle the server. It will probably allow you to remotely manage the server as well kind of a 2 for 1 one deal. Dave
>>> Dominik Klein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/10/2008 12:07 PM >>> Hi I read the list of stonith plugins and had a look at which devices they support. The list of devices you can buy new today was rather small. So I'd like to know which STONITH devices heartbeat users use. Which device do you use? What kind of device is it? How much is it? How well does it work? What problems did you encounter? Did you have to write the stonith plugin yourself? If so, did you contribute it to the project? As I'm not much of a programmer and have to buy some stonith hardware within the next weeks, help on this would be much appreciated. Regards Dominik I'll even start with a "reply" myself: APC AP7920 power distribution unit. Cost about 450 Euros a piece. It seems to work well, do not have it in production yet. I set it up with apcmastersnmp. _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux ( http://lists.linux/ )-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux ( http://linux/ )-ha.org/ReportingProblems _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
