I just got a couple IBM x3200 M3 servers and decided to turn them into an
Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit based DRBD + Pacemaker/Corosync cluster. I have pretty
much everything working, but read time and time again that if I don't have
a STONITH device set up, I'm setting myself up for disaster. I've done my
best to look around and try to figure out what the best device would be for
these servers, but really have no idea.  In all honesty, STONITH devices in
general are still a complete mystery to me.

According to the x3200 M3 manual, it does have IPMI built in for remote
power management:

Integrated IPMI 2.0 support alerts IBM Systems Director to anomalous
> environmental factors, such as
> voltage and thermal conditions. It also supports highly secure remote
> power control using data
> encryption.


I've seen a few tutorials on how to get the device setup with Pacemaker,
but like I said, have no idea as to what hardware I need.
Any ideas for this STONITH newbie?

Thanks in advance!
