Fencing with Drac

[ghogg_liv]

Hi,

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I have searched in vain for the solution. I am attempting to setup a cluster with Proxmox 3, with two Dell servers. I am able to use the command line tool fence_drac5 with the servers which have drac5 or drac6's installed. I had to use the login-timeout option with the fence_drac5 otherwise it failed, but was successfully able to reboot and check the status of the psu's on both servers. How can I get this timeout value and other parameters into the cluster.conf ? I tried using the standard parameters with fence_drac5 i.e. login-timeout="8" , but this does not validate. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for the question, I want to know that, too. Because my fencing with DRAC6 is also not working.

I actually solved this by switching to fence_idrac, just ensure IPMI over LAN is enabled in the DRAC settings.

I solved it also but only with fence_ipmilan agent...strange
