Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The lack of -n/--plug support in fence_mpath makes users unable to use a single fence device for all their nodes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup fence_mpath
2. Look for WARNING:root:Parse error: Ignoring unknown option 'port=<NODENAME>' errors in the logfile.
3.

Actual results:
Error seen in logfile, and hostname/pcmk_host_map ignored.

Expected results:
hostname/pcmk_host_map used for key unless --key specified (for backwards compatibility).

Additional info:

Oyvind, IIRC, this came up recently, and the straightforward workaround
appeared to be to configure "pcmk_host_argument" meta attribute as "key",
then to configure "pcmk_host_map" as
"NODE1:<KEY-FOR-NODE1>;NODEx:<KEY-FOR-NODEx>"

Correct?

Just that the surrounding know-how is compressed & archived somewhere...

Correct. That's explained in the kbase document for the RHEL7 clone of this bz, which I've just added to this bz as well.
