Re: Fencing Issues: fence_node fails but fence_ipmilan works

["Martinez-Sanchez, Raul" <RMartinez-Sanchez@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I had a similar issue on an IBM M3 system although it was on a rhel5u6. The way we got it fix was by changing the ipmilam configuration *location*(attribute lanplus="1" in device element to fencedevice element) in the cluster.conf file, I am not sure if this would be relevant to you but just in case ….

 

I.E.

 

<method name="1">
<device name="m3vgc1b-ilo" action=""> <device name="fcswitch1" port="2"/>
<device name="fcswitch2" port="2"/>
</method>

<method name="1">
<device name="m3vgc1a-ilo" action=""> <device name="fcswitch1" port="1"/>
<device name="fcswitch2" port="1"/>
</method>


<fencedevice agent="fence_ipmilan" power_wait="10" ipaddr="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" lanplus="1" login="Admin" name="m3vgc1b-ilo" passwd="***"/>
<fencedevice agent="fence_ipmilan" power_wait="10" ipaddr="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" lanplus="1" login="Admin" name="m3vgc1a-ilo" passwd="***"/>

 

 

Regards,

 

Raúl Martínez Sánchez

Please give me the cluster.conf file

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 ?

Thanks,

Manish Kathuria
