Description Matt Brodeur 2009-12-10 17:06:48 UTC

Description of problem:
When using fence_lpar against our v7 HMC in RDU the SSH login times out before the connection can be completed.  The timeout in fencing.py is 5 seconds, and it takes up to 10 for the HMC to respond.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cman-2.0.115-1.el5_4.9

How reproducible:
100%

Additional info:
The error returned is "Unable to connect/login to fencing device" (EC_LOGIN_DENIED) instead of the more helpful "Connection timed out" (EC_TIMED_OUT).  Setting "LOGIN_TIMEOUT = 15" in /usr/lib/fence/fencing.py solves the problem, at least in our limited tests.

Comment 1 Marek Grac 2009-12-14 14:28:14 UTC

In next version there will be an option --login-timeout which can be used to set it directly. I will set your value (15) as default for LPAR fence agent.
