If you are working on SLE11, please use the pacemaker list only. These
questions have nothing to do with linux-ha nor openais. I have set the
reply-to accordingly.

(Besides, SLE11 isn't released, so that's all beta code right now.)

openAIS doesn't support any resource agents, those come from other
packages. But in your installed system, simply look at
/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/

This will also be documented in the Novell provided product docs, of
course.

There is a scsi_reservation resource agent, but it is not used for
node-level fencing; you can simply add it to the resource hierarchy as
required.

If you want to fence through shared storage, the external/sbd stonith
script might be want you want.

You can simply specify the network address, no need to specify the
explicit IP address here. (ie, likely 192.168.2.0).

And if you want to use OCFS2, you must specify an explicit nodeid: field
(1, 2, 3, 4, ... this needs to be unique on each node).

You NEVER edit cib.xml manually. _Never_. Only through tools such as
hb_gui, the "crm" shell, cibadmin etc.

You don't need to add nodes to the configuration explicitly, they'll get
auto-added to the CIB as soon as openais forms a ring. Try without
"secauth", maybe the encryption is proving troublesome for you.

There are docs on clusterlabs.org on how to set this all up, too.
