Hi, Try use ipmilan instead of Drac. Stefan Goutam Baul <goutam.baul@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear List, We are trying to configure a RHEL cluster using two Dell Servers (Power Edge R610) with iDRAC 6. We intend to use the DRAC as the fencing device. We have installed 32 bit RHEL 5.4 OS and the cluster packages. When we are trying to test the fencing manually from one of the member nodes, we are getting the following error :- [root@drmail2 ~]# fence_drac5 -a 10.50.4.22 -l root -p calvin -x -c "admin1->" -o status Unable to connect/login to fencing device But we are able to login to the DRAC using ssh as shown below:- [root@drmail2 ~]# ssh 10.50.4.22 root@10.50.4.22's password: /admin1-> But when we enable the telnet service in the iDRAC card then we are getting the desired output. [root@drmail2 ~]# fence_drac5 -a 10.50.4.22 -l root -p calvin -c "admin1->" -o status Status: ON Any clue please?
