[PVE-User] Difficulties to test fencing

[Steffen Wagner]

Hi,

fencing with iDRAC6 works for me with the following parts in the cluster 
config:

<fencedevices>
     <fencedevice agent="fence_idrac" ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" 
login="root" name="kh-proxmox1-idrac" passwd="xxx"/>
     [...]
</fencedevices>

<clusternodes>

     <clusternode name="kh-proxmox1" nodeid="1" votes="1">
       <fence>
         <method name="1">
           <device name="kh-proxmox1-idrac"/>
         </method>
       </fence>
     </clusternode>
     [...]
</clusternodes>

So maybe try the fence_idrac agent

Steffen.
