Hi Kai,
The closest to a document is the FenceAgentAPI:
https://fedorahosted.org/cluster/wiki/FenceAgentAPI
One thing not yet mentioned there is that now the agent must write
out it's usage information as XML when given then action 'metadata'. You
can see what this should look like if you run 'fence_<foo> -o metadata'.
I've written a couple agents which you can use as templates, though
they are in perl. There are others written in bash and python, too, with
the names 'fence_*'. You should be able to view their source easily as
most (all?) are scripted languages.
If it helps, here are the two I've written:
1. This is for TrippLite switched PDUs. Note that SNMP is the preferred
method, when available (I used fence_apc_snmp as a template for this):
https://github.com/digimer/fence_tripplite_snmp
2. This is for fabric fencing using D-Link managed switches (fences by
disconnecting the node from the network, rather than rebooting it):
https://github.com/digimer/fence_dlink_snmp
Once you have your agent working, you can tie DRBD into Pacemaker by
telling DRBD to use the 'crm-fence-peer.sh' script. When DRBD detects a
fault, that script allows it to ask pacemaker to fence the node instead
of trying to do the fence itself. This is the preferred method.
If you run into problems or have any questions, feel free to ask here
or catch me (us) on IRC (freenode - #linux-cluster).
Cheers!
