RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vlastimil Holer 2012-02-06 15:14:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have a machine where "power off" operation over IPMI takes longer time. The manual page for fence_ipmilan agent descripts this option:

<cite>
  power_wait
    Wait X seconds after on/off operation (Default Value: 2)
</cite>

After reading this I believed this sleep should happen after each power change. In the fact it doesn't, it's effective only for "power on" operation. For "power off" there is just a sleep with default length (2 seconds).

Attached simple patch applies "power_wait" sleep after "power off" as well. I have tested this patch on my machine and got expected behaviour.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fence-agents-3.1.5-10.el6

Actual results:
Default "power off" timeouts

Expected results:
Configurable "power off" timeouts

Comment 3 Marek Grac 2012-02-08 16:42:04 UTC 
Thanks for reporting,

patch is now part of upstream:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=fence-agents.git;a=commit;h=9fb1a85034eb8f94a766ba9766a75924947f5e77


Unit test:

fence_ipmilan ... -o on
time fence_ipmilan ... -T 10 -o off

time needed after aplying patch should be higher by 8 seconds (2 seconds before changed to -T 10 seconds)
Comment 6 Marek Grac 2012-02-20 16:03:11 UTC 
Results of test unit:

fence_ipmilan -o on -a IPMILAN_IP -l USERID -p PASSWORD
Powering on machine @ IPMI:IPMILAN_IP...Done
[marx@nox ipmilan]$ time fence_ipmilan -o off -a IPMILAN_IP -l LOGIN -p PASSWORD
Powering off machine @ IPMI:IPMILAN_IP...Done

real	0m12.991s
user	0m0.001s
sys	0m0.010s

fence_ipmilan -o on -a IPMILAN_IP -l USERID -p PASSWORD
Powering on machine @ IPMI:IPMILAN_IP...Done
[marx@nox ipmilan]$ time fence_ipmilan -o off -a IPMILAN_IP -l LOGIN -p PASSWORD -T 30
Powering off machine @ IPMI:IPMILAN_IP...Done

real	0m33.041s
user	0m0.003s
sys	0m0.008s

==

without applying patch there was no difference due to -T option (time varies due to ipmi itself; 30 seconds timeout is better for testing than originally porposed 10 seconds.
