Joop, thanks for the info. That tells me I was not totally off track
when I
was trying the ipmilan driver.
I have firmware 4.21 in my controllers. I'll have to see about
updating that.
One thing I have figured out, this problem would not have been so
noticeable,
except that something is causing host s1 to go "non responsive" every few
hours. That provokes a Restart -> Stop -> Status -> Start sequence from the
fencing system.
I will have to deal with what is causing the "non
responsive" condition, but
first I want to work through the fencing problem.
I tried the ilo2 driver, but the test of that produced even more
convulsive
messages from the computer.
Note that lo100 - afaik there no such a thing as ilo100
- is unrelated to iLo (whatever version).
These are two completely different products - lo100 is on the board of some of the
lower-end
DL1xx series (and iirc also available as an add-on card) and iLo is on the board of DL3xx
series servers.
