I finished flashing and configuring my IPMI devices on my two nodes so that I can implement STONITH resources. I have used the vendor supplied (SuperMicro) command line and GUI tools to access and control the IPMI devices so I know they work. So I set about to test them with STONITH.
For IPMI this is what you are required to have version 1 style. stonith -t external/ipmi -p "hostname ipaddr username password" Now the docs did not specify but I assume that hostname is the name of the machine to be controlled AND the ipaddr is the ip of the IPMI device on that machine. It is the only combination that makes any sense. Following http://linux-ha.org/ConfiguringStonithPlugins I see that you can run it on the command line and pass an additional -l parameter to get a list of hosts controlled by the plugin. When I run it I get the following error and do not know what the problem is: ** INFO: external_run_cmd: Calling '/usr/lib64/stonith/plugins/external/ipmi status' returned 256 10.43.120.134 When I run it with -S to get the status I get the following: ** INFO: external_run_cmd: Calling '/usr/lib64/stonith/plugins/external/ipmi status' returned 256 stonith: external/ipmi device not accessible. Anybody have any suggestions? I do not see anyway to turn up verbosity nor do I see any logs laying around. I am at the point where I was going to download the source for the plugin but I know I am opening up a can of worms and I really don't have a week to come up to speed on the code. Can I make stonith use the existing ipmcli program that came with the motherboard? I have been using it successfully to test so far. thanks, Doug -- What profits a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his soul? _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
