For what it is worth, our experiences with HP iLO management
cards:
iLO found on G1 servers does not need to be licensed, AFAIK,
it does not have the option to do so anyways.
iLO2 found on G2 and beyond does not need to be licensed
either, if you are only using it as a fencing device. We licensed all of
ours, because it enabled useful KVM with remote media capabilities that are
superior than our Raritan KVM infrastructure.
Both
management cards should have their firmware updated -- they were both
problematic to us as factory-shipped, but applying their update
packs allowed them to work as advertised.
Also,
can't you add "-v" for verbose output and also something like "-D
/tmp/fence.out" to save debugging info to an output file? It might help
some to see where exactly the failure is occuring. Good
luck.

:
I have installed RHEL 5.4 on HP Prolaint DL280 G5 servers and iLO 2as

is working fine. I can reboot cluster nodes through Luci and service get
transfer to another node. After rebooting node connect to cluster automatically
without any error.
Problem is i can not do Fence this node through Luci, when i try to fence
any node i get following error :
Sep 8 14:51:16 node2 fence_node[9106]: agent "fence_ilo" reports: Unable to connect/login to fencing device
Sep 8 14:51:16 node2 fence_node[9106]: Fence of "node1.drctmb.com" was unsuccessful
my iLO license is : iLO 2 Advanced Evaluation
Do i need to have license of iLO or there is problem in configuration
of cluster ?
