Description of problem: There has been a request to add support for the Dell DRAC cards. These cards provide the functionality necessary to power on and off server nodes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
At the moment, the DRAC 3 firmware lacks the ability to query the current power state of a node. This means that there there is no way of checking to see if a node is actually powered off or not. As a result, it is not possible to safely create a fencing agent that uses the DRAC cards until the ability to query the power status has been implemented. Marking this bug as DEFERRED until Dell implements this important feature.
