Description Lon Hohberger 2011-10-11 14:48:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

On RHEL 4.9, the new RSA agent and the sanbox2 agent have:

  sys.path.append("@FENCEAGENTSLIBDIR@")

... in the shipped release.  This should be a pointer to /usr/lib/fence, as is consistent with other fencing agents.  This prevents use of RSA and sanbox2 fencing agents, and no workaround exists.

Additionally, the fence_rsa agent has an extraneous parameter to 'fence_action' on RHEL-4:

  fence_action(conn, options, set_power_status, get_power_status, None)

Other agents (ilo, wti) have:

  fence_action(conn, options, set_power_status, get_power_status)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fence-1.32.68-5.el4


How reproducible: 100%
  
Actual results: Fencing agents fail to run.

Actually, users can edit the scripts to work around this for now.
Comment 3 Lon Hohberger 2011-10-11 15:36:39 UTC 
Upon further investigation, fence-1.32.67 does not have this problem with the fence agents library path.
