[PVE-User] Difficulties to test fencing

[Jonathan Schaeffer]

Hi,

I'm testing the fencing on my cluster of DeLL servers with iDRAC6.

No particular problem with the global setup (I guess) the wiki is pretty 
usefull for that.

I can reboot my server without problem using the fence_idrac command 
directly :
fence_drac5  -a pmtest3-ipmi -l proxmox -p xxxxx -c "admin1->"
The return code is 0.

When I try the same whith fence_node, the server switches off, but the 
command returns an error. So fenced continues to kill the server 
indefinitely.

# fence_node pmtest3 -vv
fence pmtest3 dev 0.0 agent fence_drac5 result: error from agent
agent args: nodename=pmtest3 agent=fence_drac5 cmd_prompt=admin1-> 
ipaddr=172.16.7.33 login=proxmox login_timeout=20 passwd=xxxxxx secure=1
fence pmtest3 failed

In /var/log/pve/fenced.log :
Mar 25 17:00:24 fenced fencing node pmtest3
Mar 25 17:00:32 fenced fence pmtest3 dev 0.0 agent fence_drac5 result: 
error from agent
Mar 25 17:00:32 fenced fence pmtest3 failed


I don't know what to do to solve this. Any hint ?

Thanks,

jonathan
