Re: [Linux-HA] Problems with fence_apc agent and accessing APC AP8965

Hi,

This is a problem of firmware support, APC have completely changed text-based interface (and it is better than before). This should be solved in release fence-agents-3.1.5-35.el6 (RHEL 6.5). If that (or upstream 4.x version) is not working please create a bugzilla report.

All,

I have a bigger issue regarding dual power supplies and fence_apc that I'm going to eventually need to resolve.  But at this point I'm simply having basic issues getting the fence_apc agent to be able to access the devices in general, to wit:

# fence_apc --ssh --ip=hac-pdu1 --plug=1 --username=blah --password=blah --verbose --action=""
Unable to connect/login to fencing device


However I can manually SSH into the device just fine:

# ssh  blah@hac-pdu1
blah@hac-pdu1's password:

So perhaps the place to start first is simply getting the fence_apc agent (provided by CentOS/RHEL package fence-agents-3.1.5-35.el6_5.3.x86_64) to actually be able to work correctly.  Once that's done, I'll still need help on the dual power supply issue.

I'm not seeing any attempts to login in the APC's logs file, though I do see connections when I manually login, e.g.:
02/21/2014	13:13:11	System: Console user 'apc' logged out from 192.168.1.216.
02/21/2014	13:12:40	System: Console user 'apc' logged in from 192.168.1.216.

A manual 'telnet [name] 22' command also works fine from the command line:
# telnet hac-pdu1 22
Trying 192.168.1.222...
Connected to hac-1-pdu1 (192.168.1.222).
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-cryptlib


However fence_apc_snmp **does** seem to work:

# fence_apc_snmp --snmp-version=1 --community=public --ip=hac-pdu1 --plug=1 --username=blah --password=blah --verbose --action=""
/usr/bin/snmpwalk -m '' -Oeqn  -v '1' -c 'public' 'hac-pdu1:161' '.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0'
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging
Created directory: /var/lib/net-snmp/mib_indexes

Trying APC Master Switch (fallback)
/usr/bin/snmpget -m '' -Oeqn  -v '1' -c 'public' 'hac-pdu1:161' '.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.4.4.2.1.3.1'
.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.4.4.2.1.3.1 1

Status: ON


Does anyone have any ideas as to why fence_apc is not working?


Thanks!
Tony
