Well , i am running RHEL 6.3 on  INSPUR NFS5280 . For some reason  the ipmitool and drivers stopped working.

While restarting /etc/init.d/ipmi , it would just hang. 

Is it that ipmitool is not communicating  with BMC .?

What is the best way to tackle this issue ? 

Thanks

Hello,

I am trying to setup a simple 2 node cluster in active/passive mode for
oracle high availability

We are using one  INSPUR server and one HP proliant (Management decision
based on  hardware availability)   and we are seeing if we can use IPMI
as fencing method

CCHS though supports HP ILO, DELL IPMI, IBM , but not  INSPUR.

So the basic question i have is what if we can use fence_ILO (for HP)
and fence_ipmilan (For INSPUR)?

IF any one have any experience with fence_ipmilan or point to resources
, it would really be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Amjad

fence_ipmilan works with just about every IPMI-based out of band management interface. Most of those branded ones, like DRAC, RSA, iLO, etc are fundamentally based on IPMI. I've used fence_ipmilan on iLO personally and it's fine.

If you can show what 'ipmitool' command you use that can show if the peer is powered on or off, then you should be able to translate it quite easily to a matching fence_ipmilan call (check man fence_ipmilan for the switches). Once you can check the power status of the peer(s) with fence_ipmilan, you're 95% of the way there.

cheers
