Power management on Dell PowerEdge R320 and R520
Hello, I am having trouble configuring fencing on these two servers with iDrac7 module from freshly installed oVirt 4.4.6. I tried drac5, drac7 and ipmilan modules and neither passes the test. I used ipmilan with option "lanplus=1", as noted in previous threads about idrac usage with oVirt/RHEV, but with no success. Also, I am successfully using ipmilan fencing from older oVirt 4.2 on several SuperMicro server nodes. This is the error message in engine.log: 2021-05-14 09:28:41,185+02 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.pm.FenceProxyLocator] (default task-6) [12faf352-da4a-4b24-9ab9-af54559cecd1] Can not run fence action on host 'onode1', no suitable proxy host was found. I can successfully query the idrac module with ipmitool from command line on the node, using the same credentials.
Never mind, the test was probably failing correctly as I tested the power management with other node in maintenance. When more than one node are active, the test passes and power management works correctly. It could be mentioned in docs though that the power management should be configured and tested with at least two nodes being active ...
Hi Pavel, At the risk of being somewhat lazy, could I ask you where the docs are for installing the iDrac modules and getting power management setup? This is a topic that I haven't explored yet, but probably need to. I have 3x Dell R630s.

Hi David, I meant oVirt docs, e.g. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#Setting_.... Docs for installing and setting up iDrac module will be probably available through Dell, but I had no trouble with that part.
Hi Pavel, You can only test a fence device after having one active node at that cluster. In other words, install/activate host1 and have it up and running. Go to install host2 and configure Power Management for this host. Having host1 already active it will be used to test host2 power management. Go back to host1 and configure power management and test it too. I know it looks weird but ovirt needs at least one active host to test power management of new hosts.
