Supported STONITH Interfaces for HA NFS

The STONITH interfaces are used in the HA NFS cluster to remotely power down NFS servers.

When choosing the STONITH device for the HA NFS cluster, consult the filtered list of supported STONITH interfaces. The source list is available from the heartbeat-stonith-2.1.3-3.el5.centos RPM package by executing the stonith –L –h command.

• STONITH Device:apcmaster – APC MasterSwitch (via telnet).

  Note, that the APC MasterSwitch accepts only one (telnet) connection/session a time. When one session is active, subsequent attempts to connect to the MasterSwitch will fail. For more information, see http://www.apc.com/.

  List of valid parameter names for apcmaster STONITH device:

  • ipaddr
  • login
  • password

• STONITH Device:apcsmart – APC Smart UPS.

  The device should be connected by means of a serial port only.

  The device works with higher-end APC UPSes, for example: Back-UPS Pro, Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS, and the like.

  See http://www.networkupstools.org/protocols/apcsmart.html for protocol compatibility details. For more information, see http://www.apc.com/.
