It seems on ovirt node the man pages are missing, probably to cut off
installation base.. ;-)
Anyway I would check installing the ordinary rpm package on a base CentOS 7
system.
In the mean time I have checked the STDIN PARAMETERS section of fence_ilo4
man page for a CentOS 6.7 clustersuite server I have at hand, thanks. I
think it should be similar

Yes, according to our knowledge ilo4 should be used for all new HP
servers (and also ilo4 agent has most of default parameters, so if you
don't have some special configuration on your server you should be fine.

If you are using admin user, then the default should be fine. If you are
want to create a special user just for oVirt PM operations then following
permissions needs to be assigned to user within iLO4 configuration:
Virtual power and reset
Remote Console Access
Virtual Media
And you need to add following into Options for the host PM settings:
privlvl=operator
Thanks

Perfect: it works.
Assigned the three privileges to the fenceuser user and now the
corresponding command line works
# fence_ilo4 -a ilo_ip -l fenceuser -L operator -S
/usr/local/bin/my_fence_script.sh -o status
Status: ON
#
And also from gui the test is ok using ilo4 type and
"privlvl=operator,inet4_only=1" option
BTW: for the fence_ilo_ssh agent it is enough to have only the "Virtual
power and reset" privilege for the dedicated user (at least to get the
status of the blade)
Thanks again,
Gianluca
