Description of problem: Conga should have a separate entry for "Dell CMC" when configuring fencing. Currently the only option is "Dell Drac", which uses "fence_drac" that does not have the correct support for the Dell CMC (see bug 466788), nor an option for SSH (see bug 496713). Lastly, it writes the configuration using 'modulename="user_input"' into /etc/cluster/cluster.conf, but fence_drac5 uses 'module_name="user_input"' instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 5.3 cman-2.0.98-1.el5 luci-0.12.1-7.el5 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a cluster 2. Select a node to configure fencing on 3. View options for Dell DRAC Actual results: Fencing fails if only using Conga, which uses the fencing agent "fence_drac". The user can manually modify this, but will need to change "modulename" to "module_name", "fence_drac" to "fence_drac5", and add 'secure="1"' if desired. Expected results: There should be a separate entry for "Dell CMC". This should also act as a shared fencing device like an "APC Power Switch". The Dell CMC accepts module_name to power on/off individual server blades, much like a power switch.
Created attachment 340789 [details] fence_drac5 and fencing.py: patches and files with patch applied This file contains the /sbin/fence_drac5 and /usr/lib/fence/fencing.py that have had patches applied to them. The file also contains the patches as well. These files had the patch BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462390 applied to them to fix another issue. Patched fence_drac5 and fencing.py contain patches for 2 BZs.
A separate ticket should be opened against the fence agent and the patches should be posted there.
Fencing agent with support for this device is in git tree. It is extending fence_drac5 - detection of device is done automatically after login.
The patch in the tarball was generated incorrectly. Please disregard the patch, but the patched files are correct.
Created attachment 342307 [details] fence_drac5 and fencing.py with modulename patch Uploaded the new patches for fencing.py and fence_drac5. The previous ones were incorrectly created.
Should the patches for the agent be posted in Bug 466788 as Ryan mentioned in Commend #3? This bug only refers to Conga's support of the fencing agent.
Created attachment 343719 [details] Patch to add compatibile layer Patch adds support for modulename (same way as we work with other obsolete options).
Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: Fence agent fence_drac5 does not support same variable as fence_drac Consequences: Unable to use previously written scripts with new agent Fix: Added compatibility layer to support both modulename and module_name Result: Full backward compatibility for supported models.
