There are two bugs which are fixed in CVS which you might be hitting: (1) fence_ipmi doesn't work with null passwords https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218974 (2) fence_ipmi doesn't work with lan-plus components (don't know the bugzilla # :( ) Also, fence_ipmi uses ipmitool. If you get an "ipmitool not found" warning, ensure that the OpenIPMI package from RHEL4 U3 or later is installed. The fence package does not require this any other packages at install-time (Note: -not- a bug). -- Lon -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
