Please take a look at man page of fence_ilo_ssh and scroll down to STDIN PARAMETERS section. These parameters needs to be used in Options field in webadmin

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

All in all do you think it is the best agent for ilo4 based blades?

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.

I have made some test with fence_ilo4 but unable to get success... what should I enable on ilo web administration page in this case, if you think the agent would be better for any reason?

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,
