As others have reported, the current fence_apc shipping with
RHEL5.1/CentOS5.1 simply does not work reliably on newer APC firmwares. It
breaks under all kinds of conditions (some as simple as 'works on some
ports but not on other ports').
Since I *really* need it to work, I hacked together a Perl version
(derived from the old fence_apc.pl in CVS) that uses the APC command line
interface and dispenses with the 'menu scraping' interface entirely.
I don't have any switches here that use a switchnum interface so I
couldn't hack anything together for that. But it appears to reliably do
what it is supposed to do (at least on my APC7900 switches running AOS
3.3.4): Fence.
It would make a great deal of sense for someone to add it to the Luci/CMAN
list of supported fences. Maybe "APC Power Device (CLI) / fence_apc_cli"?
