HI Thanks for the info I'm having other fencing problems with fence_ilo and I'm thinking of writing a script to do the fencing, ipmitool works fine, I'll just write a script to call it. what do you think? Also, I'd like to know what fencing solutions are the most common, reliable. I'm doing a proof-of-concept for a big institution and would like to know what are the more stable solutions Best Regards Jose > Jose, > this is known bug/feature of newer IPMI implementations.
