Hi Vlad, RHCS docs says it is possible and I managed to setup HP iLO as a fence device. Now my issue is related to RHCS - what is fence-levels and how it is work.. Cheers, - Hirantha -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vlad Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 5:24 PM To: linux clustering Subject: Re: RHSCv4 2-node cluster hangs while starting fenced You can configure HP iLOs from server BIOS ( press [F8] on server startup). It's for virtual server power manage, virtual local console manage only. Any local server OS can't see iLO as network device. iLO work as 'http://<iLO-TCP/IP>'. You can access iLO server from network workstation from MS Internet Explorer as 'http://<iLO-TCP/IP>'. For examlpe, in you local network, http://192.168.31.1 I think that you can't use iLO port for server network and cluster.
