Description of problem: The fence_ilo is not working with the version 3 of HP's iLO cards, I have tried using the fence daemon with the iLO2 cards and its working correctly. [root@node ~]# /sbin/fence_ilo -a node-ilo2 -l Administrator -p blabla -o status Status: ON [root@node ~]# /sbin/fence_ilo -a node-ilo3 -l Administrator -p blabla -o status -v Unable to connect/login to fencing device As we can see below we can logging directly to the iLO3 with out any problems: [root@node ~]# ssh Administrator@node-ilo3 Administrator@node-ilo3's password: User:Administrator logged-in to node-ilo3(x.x.x.x) iLO 3 Advanced 1.20 at Mar 14 2011 Server Name: node-ilo3 Server Power: On </>hpiLO-> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cman-2.0.115-68.el5_6.3 grep FENCE_RELEASE_NAME /sbin/fence_ilo --> FENCE_RELEASE_NAME="2.0.115"; iLO 3 firmware: v1.20 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. fence_ilo -a node-ilo3 -l Administrator -p blabla -o status -v
I have just tested the fence_ilo with the previous firmwares versions v1.15 and v1.16 and it also does not work.
Sebastian, fence_ilo will probably not work with ilo3, please use fence_ipmilan -P instead (see https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-30004).
@Sebastian Jaroslav is right you should use fence_ipmilan for HP iLO3 as is documented in knowledge base. Right options can be find both at that document and they should be part of manual page for fence_ipmilan.
