Yes, not only does it work manually, when I run fence_ack_manual, that causes the fence_apc_snmp to work. So, System failure fenced says its trying to fence then the fenced says its waiting for ack, which never comes and the system doesn't get powered down then I run fence_ack_manual, and then the system powers down. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Carroll" <Jeremyc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "linux clustering" <linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 24, 2007 6:35:55 AM (GMT-0800) America/Los_Angeles Subject: RE: fence_apc_snmp woes Try to run the fence agent manually. See if it works. Most likely the problem is fenced cannot successfully run the program to power down the switch. Post your results.
