Hi All ,
Need help in configuring IPMI_Lan as fencing device for my cluster . The servers I am using are of make HP ProLiant
Since fence_ipmilan internally uses ipmitool , I was trying to understand the use of ipmitool . For that purpose , I initially created a user named 'admin' using ipmitool.
=====
# ipmitool user list 2 ID Name Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit 1 Administrator true false true ADMINISTRATOR 2 admin true false true USER 3 (Empty User) true false false NO ACCESS 4 (Empty User) true false false NO ACCESS ______________________________ ]# ipmitool channel getciphers ipmi 2 ID IANA Auth Alg Integrity Alg Confidentiality Alg 0 N/A none none none 1 N/A hmac_sha1 none none 2 N/A hmac_sha1 hmac_sha1_96 none 3 N/A hmac_sha1 hmac_sha1_96 aes_cbc_128
=====
Using the 'admin' user , I am able to execute IPMI commands successfully.
=====
]# ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.2.153 -U admin -L USER chassis status
System Power : on
Power Overload : false
Power Interlock : inactive
Main Power Fault : false
......
......
-----------------------
]# fence_ipmilan -L USER -a 192.168.2.153 -P lanplus -l admin -p xxxxxxx -T 4 -o status -v
Getting status of IPMI:192.168.2.153...Spawning: '/usr/bin/ipmitool -I lanplus -H '192.168.2.153' -U 'ssdg' -L 'USER' -P '[set]' -v chassis power status'...
Chassis power = On
Done
=======
But the same above commands fails if I use the 'Administrator' User.
=====
# ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.2.153 -U Administrator -L ADMINISTRATOR chassis status
Password:
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Error sending Chassis Status command
# ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.2.153 -U Administrator chassis status
Password:
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Error sending Chassis Status command
=======
I am using the default password for 'Administrator' userwhich is printed on a little cardboard card attached to the server
Kindly guide where I went wrong ?
Thanks in Advance
