Description Marek Grac 2009-02-16 14:07:33 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #485065 +++

Description of problem:
fence_lpar uses lssyscfg and chsysstate commands to get/change status of an lpar which are not available in earlier versions of IBM HMC (v3 doesn't work for sure)

How reproducible:
Try to fence an ibm-p4-01 on ppc-tucks.englab.brq.redhat.com

Actual results:
Script fails saying that there is a connection/logon problem

Expected results:
Fence the lpar

Additional info:
Need to add a parameter that will specify the hmc version fence_lpar is used with.
Something like -c 3.5 or -c 6.1 or at least major version (not sure since which one lssyscfg and chsysstate were introduced) to let fence_lpar know which commands to use inside.
