2.5. Configuring Fence Devices
Configuring fence devices consists of creating, modifying, and deleting fence devices. Creating a fence device consists of selecting a fence device type and entering parameters for that fence device (for example, name, IP address, login, and password). Modifying a fence device consists of selecting an existing fence device and changing parameters for that fence device. Deleting a fence device consists of selecting an existing fence device and deleting it.
If you are creating a new cluster, you can create fence devices when you configure cluster nodes. Refer to Section 2.6, “Configuring Cluster Members”.

This section provides procedures for the following tasks:
Creating shared fence devices — Refer to Section 2.5.1, “Creating a Shared Fence Device”. The procedures apply only to creating shared fence devices. You can create non-shared (and shared) fence devices while configuring nodes (refer to Section 2.6, “Configuring Cluster Members”).
Modifying or deleting fence devices — Refer to Section 2.5.2, “Modifying or Deleting a Fence Device”. The procedures apply to both shared and non-shared fence devices.
The starting point of each procedure is at the cluster-specific page that you navigate to from Choose a cluster to administer displayed on the cluster tab.
