Description Sebastian YEPES F. 2011-05-04 13:46:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

The fence_ilo is not working with the version 3 of HP's iLO cards, I have tried using the fence daemon with the iLO2 cards and its working correctly.

[root@node ~]# /sbin/fence_ilo -a node-ilo2 -l Administrator -p blabla -o status 
Status: ON

[root@node ~]# /sbin/fence_ilo -a node-ilo3 -l Administrator -p blabla -o status -v            
Unable to connect/login to fencing device

As we can see below we can logging directly to the iLO3 with out any problems:

[root@node ~]# ssh Administrator@node-ilo3
Administrator@node-ilo3's password: 
User:Administrator logged-in to node-ilo3(x.x.x.x)
iLO 3 Advanced 1.20 at  Mar 14 2011
Server Name: node-ilo3
Server Power: On

How reproducible: 100%

Comment 1 Sebastian YEPES F. 2011-05-04 16:41:48 UTC 
I have just tested the fence_ilo with the previous firmwares versions v1.15 and v1.16 and it also does not work.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Kortus 2011-05-04 17:24:55 UTC 
Sebastian,

fence_ilo will probably not work with ilo3, please use fence_ipmilan -P instead (see https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-30004).
Comment 3 Marek Grac 2011-05-06 13:17:23 UTC 
@Sebastian

Jaroslav is right you should use fence_ipmilan for HP iLO3 as is documented in knowledge base. Right options can be find both at that document and they should be part of manual page for fence_ipmilan.
