[Users] high availability via fencing
Hello, I'm testing ovirt for potential deployment and one of the metrics for its success relies on the high availability feature. In my research on this feature, I found scattered documentation indicating that fencing is a prerequisite. On my test hardware, I don't have any LOM/IPMI but I see that APC managed PDUs are supported, which I do have. The problem is when I try to configure Power Management to use the "apc" type, I get this error: Test Failed, Host Status is: unknown. The fence-agent script reported the following error: Failed: You have to enter plug number Please use '-h' for usage ovirt-engine/engine.log tells me: 2012-04-20 11:32:44,595 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.FencingExecutor] (http--0.0.0.0-8443-5) Executing <Status> Power Management command, Proxy Host:heilig, Agent:apc, Target Host:, Management IP:134.174.x.x, User:ovirt, Options:port=22,secure=true,slot=1 2012-04-20 11:32:44,598 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.FenceVdsVDSCommand] (http--0.0.0.0-8443-5) START, FenceVdsVDSCommand(vdsId = 6de5e3fa-8a33-11e1-b3f9-003048c85226, targetVdsId = 60087c5e-8a3b-11e1-b15d-003048c85226, action = Status, ip = 134.174.x.x, port = , type = apc, user = ovirt, password = ******, options = 'port=22,secure=true,slot=1'), log id: 57f86a56 2012-04-20 11:32:44,696 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.FenceVdsVDSCommand] (http--0.0.0.0-8443-5) FINISH, FenceVdsVDSCommand, return: Test Failed, Host Status is: unknown.

I meant I've tried to add "plug=1" to no avail.
You should just enter 1 in one of the blanks, that is all I had to do to get my APC strips working.

Hello,
I'm testing ovirt for potential deployment and one of the metrics for its success relies on the high availability feature. In my research on this feature, I found scattered documentation indicating that fencing is a prerequisite. On my test hardware, I don't have any LOM/IPMI but I see that APC managed PDUs are supported, which I do have.
The problem is when I try to configure Power Management to use the "apc" type, I get this error:
Test Failed, Host Status is: unknown. The fence-agent script reported the following error: Failed: You have to enter plug number Please use '-h' for usage

Any ideas? Is there any way to configure a "dumb" power management / fencing configuration for testing?
If you still have the problem, can you please put also the vdsm log (look for "fenceNode" ) Thanks

Hi Eli, Here is the relevant output, though I don't think it'll be much more help: Thread-1818::DEBUG::2012-04-24 12:17:59,804::API::954::vds::(fenceNode) fenceNode(addr=134.174.x.x,port=,agent=apc,user=ovirt,passwd=XXXX,action=status,secure=,options=) Thread-1818::DEBUG::2012-04-24 12:17:59,841::API::980::vds::(fenceNode) rc 1 in agent=fence_apc ipaddr=134.174.x.x login=ovirt option=status passwd=XXXX out err Failed: You have to enter plug number Please use '-h' for usage Thanks, Ian

Hi Eli,
Here is the relevant output, though I don't think it'll be much more help:
Actually, it does, since it shows that Vdsm did not receive any 'port' to pass to fence_apc, which is required. 'port' is usually the ordinal postion of your blade. Either define it in the GUI or use port=<n> option in the options edit box.

I believe that it is such a bug, since the "options" field come up as empty in vdsm.

I tried entering a Port, Slot and "plug=1" in options. I also checked "Secure". It indeed appears that the engine isn't passing the options along. I also find it odd that a required field (plug) isn't available via a form field. Is that just a side effect? I can file a bug -- does it belong in ovirt-engine-core?
