[Linux-cluster] conga bug or my mistake?

[Alex]

Hello all,

My current setup si similar with one described here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/gnbd/gnbd_usage.txt
excepting the fact that i'm having 3 clients and 3 gnbd servers (exporting 
block devices using gnbd).

our gnbd servers have the following IPs: 192.168.113.6 and 192.168.113.7
our gnbd clients have the following IPs: 192.168.113.3 and 192.168.113.4 and 
192.168.113.5

On our management machine (other then above gnbd clients and servers) is 
running:
[root at rhclm ~]# rpm -q luci
luci-0.12.0-7.el5.centos.3
[root at rhclm ~]#

On our gnbd clients is running:
[root at rs1 ~]# rpm -q ricci
ricci-0.12.0-7.el5.centos.3
[root at rs1 ~]#

Now, i'm trying to do the following operations using conga:
Cluster -> Shared Fence Devices -> Add Fence Device

added successfully:

Fence Type: GNBD
Name: gnbd_from_shds
Servers: 192.168.113.6 192.168.113.7

This will add in our cluster.conf:
<fencedevices>
        <fencedevice agent="fence_gnbd" name="gnbd_from_shds" 
servers="192.168.113.6 192.168.113.7"/>
</fencedevices>

Let's try to use it: Cluster -> Nodes hit on 192.168.113.3 and select option 
"Manage Fencing for this Node" -> "Main Fencing Method" -> "Add a fence 
device to this level" -> select gnbd_from_shds ->  and hit "Update main fence 
properties"

Is not working, all the time i'm getting a javascript window error saying the 
following:

[snip]
The following errors were found:
An unknown device type was given: "gnbd."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[end snip]

You see, is a dot after "gnbd" which i suppose it causing that error.

How can be fixed this error?

Now, I edited manually our cluster.conf as following:
<clusternode name="192.168.113.3" nodeid="3" votes="1">
        <fence>
                <method name="1">
                        <device name="gnbd_from_shds" 
nodename="192.168.113.3"/>
                </method>
        </fence>
</clusternode>

First Question: In docs, i cannot find any explanation about name="value" in 
<method> tag. As you see, value is "1": <method name="1">. Is this value 
valid only inside of <clusternode> section or has global semnification in 
cluster.conf? Can i name it for example "one" or 
"first_fence_method_for_this_node"?

and run:
[root at rs1 ~]# ccs_tool update /etc/cluster/cluster.conf
Config file updated from version 28 to 29

Update complete.
[root at rs1 ~]#

Now, i can see using conga in "Shared Fence Devices" section:

Shared Fence Devices for Cluster: httpcluster
Agent type: Global Network Block Device
Name: gnbd_from_shds
Nodes using this device for fencing: 192.168.113.3

but, if i'm hitting 192.168.113.3 link, i'll get other error:

Site error

This site encountered an error trying to fulfill your request. The errors 
were:

Error Type
    KeyError
Error Value
    'fence-instance-form-gnbd'
Request made at
    2008/08/18 12:42:45.164 GMT+3

Any ideas how to fix it? Is my mistake or is a bug in conga?

Second Question: Is correct to add and use for the rest of our client nodes 
below sintax?

For: 192.168.113.4 and 192.168.113.5 client nodes:

<clusternode name="192.168.113.4" nodeid="2" votes="1">
        <fence>
                <method name="1">
                        <device name="gnbd_from_shds" 
nodename="192.168.113.4"/>
                </method>
        </fence>
</clusternode>

and

<clusternode name="192.168.113.5" nodeid="1" votes="1">
        <fence>
                <method name="1">
                        <device name="gnbd_from_shds" 
nodename="192.168.113.5"/>
                </method>
        </fence>
</clusternode>

For conformity, i am posting below my present cluster.conf file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster alias="httpcluster" config_version="29" name="httpcluster">
        <fence_daemon clean_start="0" post_fail_delay="0"

                                </method>
