*) Non-encryption is not a solution because there is (or was) telnet based interface for ilo2 but it did not work correctly. If I remeber it, problem was that we had to issue power off but ilo always sent it as attempt to graceful shutdown.

@John Harrigan:

*) There is no problem with ilo3/ilo4/... because they support IPMI and that is the only supported way from us.

We can switch to gnutls-cli and remove nss_wrapper completely. With current version, there is no problem with communication with iLO2 (tested with RIBCL 1.22);

The required patch just change the executable and we will lose support for ilo2 & force ipv6 - what is not a problem as hw does not support it anyway.

Makes sense to me. Can we consider dropping fence_nss_wrapper completely in favour of gnutls-cli?

@Fabio:

yes, we can completely drop fence_nss_wrapper then

btw: of course in final version the path won't be hard-coded :)

Problem is fixed in upstream:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/fence-agents.git/commit/?id=52ed50a1bd4b4bfe632bd560de27195fcea65802

nss-wrapper was completely removed in favor of gnutls-cli

Unit test:

fence_ilo -o status ...
fence_ilo -o reboot ...

Patch in upstream:

Unit test results related to the gnutls connection to the device. Please note that a new option is required.

The problem:
gnutls > 3.x sets default negotiation protocol to TLS1.x
the device used for testing, while it claims TLS support, only works with SSL3.0

This can be verified either using RHEL6 gnutls-2.x or downgrading RHEL7 gnutls to 2.12.21-2.el7.x86_64.rpm (it will require some mocking around for libtasm.1.so.3 missing)

Since TLS should always be preferred by default, we add a new config option
specific to those agents that support --ssl (cisco_ucs, ilo, ilo2, rhevm, vmware_soap) "--notls" or "-t".
