Problem to configure HA with Fencing

[gerrynt]

Hello community,
I'm testing proxmox in order to install it in a production environment, but by now I'm facing problem when I try to configure the HA. This problem is due to Fencing.

My test environment is a Proxmox VE 3.1 with a 2 node cluster.

Nodes Specification

HP Proliant DL320G5
Xeon 3075 2.66 Mhz
RAM: 2 GB
DISK: 146 GB Raid 1

I have installed proxmox, tested vm (linux and Windows) and network configuration scenarios (vlan, bonding, etc), put node in cluster all these are perfectly working.

Then I have to test HA. I can not use IPMI because my servers do not support it. So thanks to HP, I have ILO- 1.5 the basic licence.
I order to test the ability of my server to access ILO,

I tried this

root@proxmox:~# fence_ilo -a 139.165.219.7 -l fencing -p fencing123 -o status
Unable to connect/login to fencing device

This

root@proxmox:~# fence_ilo -a 139.165.219.7 -l fencing -p fencing123 -o status -v chassis power status
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RIBCL VERSION="2.22">
<RESPONSE
    STATUS="0x0001"
    MESSAGE='Syntax error: Line #0: syntax error near "" in the line: ""'
    />
</RIBCL>Unable to connect/login to fencing device

And this

root@proxmox:~# fence_ilo_mp -a 139.165.219.7 -l fencing -p fencing123 -o status -v chassis power status
telnet> set binary

  File "/usr/share/fence/fencing.py", line 788, in fence_action
    options["--plugs"] = options["--plug"].split(",")
KeyError: '--plug'

But I still unable to access. My search for how I can perform this test was unsuccessfull.
Can anyone help me?
Thank You.

I found that for newer iLO firmware, you need to use the fence tool for the next version up. e.g. for iLO2 with firmware from 2013, I have to use fence_ilo3 -o status -a 192.168.0.x
