Created attachment 338512 [details] Patch to add a 5 seconds delay after issuing a poweron or poweroff command. Description of problem: How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Issue the fence_apc_snmp command to poweron an outlet 2. The script will return "Error turning outlet on" 3. Issue the fence_apc_snmp command to check status of an outlet 4. The script returns status as on. Actual results: The script does not read the correct status after a poweron or poweroff command through the fence_apc_snmp script. Expected results: The script immediately checks the status of the outlet after we issue a poweron of poweroff command in order to determine if the command was executed successfully. Due to delays of the PDU the status is not updated immediately so the command fails. The script should have a small delay before checking the status in order to allow the PDU to be updated with the status of the outlet. Additional info: On a cluster node issue the following commands against an APC AP7921 with the IP address 172.16.1.10 paired with a second APC AP7921 with the IP address 172.16.1.11. [root@~]# fence_apc_snmp -a 172.16.1.10 -c privatetest -n 8 -o on Error turning outlet on [root@~]# fence_apc_snmp -a 172.16.1.10-c privatetest -n 8 -o status Outlet "8" - 8 is on [root@~]# fence_apc_snmp -a 172.16.1.10 -c privatetest -n 8 -o off Error turning outlet off [root@~]# fence_apc_snmp -a 172.16.1.10 -c privatetest -n 8 -o status Outlet "8" - 8 is off On the syslog server check the logs (to actually check that the commands for poweron and poweroff do work). Apr 7 18:58:58 172.16.1.10 Switched Rack PDU: Outlet #8 (Uranus2 PS2) on. 0x0F09 Apr 7 18:58:58 172.16.1.11 Switched Rack PDU: Outlet #8 (Uranus2 PS2) on. 0x0F09 Apr 7 18:59:07 172.16.1.10 Switched Rack PDU: Outlet #8 (Uranus2 PS2) off. 0x0F0B Apr 7 18:59:07 172.16.1.11 Switched Rack PDU: Outlet #8 (Uranus2 PS2) off. 0x0F0B Attached there is simple patch to add a delay after a command for poweron or poweroff is executed on the PDUs before checking the status of the outlet.
