I am facing a strange problem configuring a two node cluster using RHCS 4.8. Both nodes are HP Proliant DL 180 G6 servers using HP LO 100i (IPMI Based). When I run the fence_node command to check the fence device configuration for either of the nodes, it fails giving the following message in the logs: fence_node[nnnn]: Fence of "node1" was unsuccessful fence_node[nnnn]: Fence of "node2" was unsuccessful However, when I run the fence_impilan command using the same credentials, it executes successfully and is able to switch on, off and reboot the nodes. The cluster configuration for the fence devices is: IPMI Lan Type Name: lo1 IP Address: 172.16.1.x Login admin Password passone Auth Type password Name: lo2 IP Address: 172.16.1.y Login admin Password passtwo Auth Type password I have already tried different options for Auth Type (blank, password, md5). Have also tried using / not using lanplus for both the fence devices in the Manage Fencing dialog without success. Any suggestions ?
