My machines are SUN Fire X4100. I see that we can define a fence

form in system-config-cluster tool to enter and use a SUN ILOM as
fence device?
How does ILOM work? telnet or ssh? Is there an snmp interface to ILOM?
If so, there might be a way...by hacking on another agent.
So, I'm a lurker on this list as I no longer have a cluster up... but
I work on ILOM and I would love to see this work. This isn't official
support, I'm a developer not a customer support person. So, it's more
on my time. If there is anything I can do... Please let me know.
Questions on this problem, regarding what ILOM can / can't do, how to
check state of the server via ILOM, etc.
Quentin! That is very kind of you. If you help with the ILOM protocol,
I'll help with the agent/script. This thread could form a document on
how to write an arbitrary fence agent for use with rhcs.
Where is documentation available? Generally, three things are needed
from a baseboard management device in order to use it for fencing: 1) A
way to shut the system down, 2) a way to power the system up, and 3) a
way to check if it is up or down.
What means can a script use to communicate with the ILOM card? Are there
big delta's in the protocol between different ILOM versions?
I look forward to hearing from you.

I am interested in seeing this thread play out as well since I have 26 SUN
servers I am beginning to cluster. My question is why use SNMP over IPMI
v2.0. I can do the above three things with:
/usr/bin/ipmitool -U <user> -P <password> -H <ilom IP> chassis power off
/usr/bin/ipmitool -U <user> -P <password> -H <ilom IP> chassis power on
/usr/bin/ipmitool -U <user> -P <password> -H <ilom IP> chassis power status
I don't need any MIB's for this either. It seems to me this might be an
easier solution than snmp, but I may be missing something.
No, I think you have it all covered. :-)
If other vendors support IPMI then the script should just use it.
Thanks,
Brad Crotchett
