Previous versions with recent iLO firmware (1.75+) caused this ACPI soft-poweroff issue (they were simulating a power button press, instead of a "press and hold for a few seconds"). I would just be happy if they added the perl-Crypt-SSLeay package as a Dependency to the fence package. If it is not installed, you may have a nice surprise when trying to fence off a node using the iLO :). Javier -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
