Hi there,
I'm trying to setup a cluster and had issues with 'fence_ipmilan' from
the package fence-agents.
I'm running debian 7.1 with a 3.2.0-4-amd64 kernel.
'fence_ipmilan --V' gives 'fence_ipmilan 3.1.5'
My Cluster nodes are running on Supermicro Motherboards with IPMI
on-board. (To be exact:
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/Xeon/C202_C204/X9SCA-F.cfm )
I've experienced the following behavior:
fence_ipmilan -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l USER-p PASS -v -o off; echo $?

More or less in the same moment when I got this message the machine
went down. So all the commands were working, but not in the expected time.
( Using Supermicro Mainboards with IPMI onboard,
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/Xeon/C202_C204/X9SCA-F.cfm )
I've played around with available parameters and wasn't able to fix
this behavior.
So I went into the source
code(fence-agents-3.1.5/fence/agents/ipmilan/ipmilan.c) and had a look
at the ipmi_off function.
There was a fixed value of 2 seconds to sleep.
I modified this to use the same parameter like ipmi_on:
ipmi->i_power_wait instead of 2, so that I can modify this value and
test if it has effect on my problem.
Now when I use the modified version of fence_ipmilan the output looks
like:
./fence_ipmilan -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l USER -p PASS -T 10 -v -o off ;
echo $?
Spawning: '/usr/bin/ipmitool -I lan -H 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' -U 'USER' -P
'PASS' -v chassis power off'...
Spawning: '/usr/bin/ipmitool -I lan -H 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' -U 'USER' -P
'PASS' -v chassis power status'...
Done

So I think this fixed my problem, and I think it might help other
users experiencing the same issues.
Kind regards
Thanks for reporting, I'm quite suprised that you use such old version.
This issue was fixed in 3.1.8 (26 Mar 2012)
