Issue fence iDRAC7

[francisco.]

Hi,

i am experiencing a problem about fence and iDrac 7.

At the moment, I have used always fence_idrac and ipmitool on iDrac 5/6, but now i cannot get status of them:

ipmitool -I lan -H 10.0.17.46 -U root -P XXXXX chassis power status
Get Session Challenge command failed
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Unable to get Chassis Power Status


fence_idrac -a 10.0.17.46 -l root -p XXXX -o status
Getting status of IPMI:10.0.17.46...Chassis power = Unknown
Failed

Only I got some information when i used:

fence_drac5 --ip="10.0.17.46" --username="root" --password="XXXX" --ssh --verbose --debug-file="/tmp/foo" --command-prompt="admin1->" --tatus"="st
Status: ON

What is happening?

Best Regards.
Francisco

Hi,

I don't have tested idrac7 yet, but I'm going to install some tests server this week, with idrac7.
I'll do tests, and try to make a report here this week.

Hi, I got it working

ipmitool -I lanplus -H XXXX -U XXX -P XXX chassis power status


(lanplus did the trick)


also check that ipmi is enable, in idrac config:

Menu -> iDrac7 Settings -> Network -> IPMI


correct fence agence is fence_idrac;


(I don't have test it yet, I will try to update the wiki next neek)
