Zusammenfassung:A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving, at a first baseboard management controller (BMC) of a first node, a fence request from a central processing unit (CPU) of the first node. The first BMC of the first node may communicate with a second BMC of a second node, wherein the first node and the second node are communicatively coupled to a plurality of storage drives. The first BMC and the second BMC may determine which node of the first node and the second node to fence from the plurality of storage drives. One of the first node and the second node may be fenced, via one of the first BMC and the second BMC, from the plurality of storage drives, thus defining a fenced node.
