It looks to me like the options are dropped, especially since the fenceNode line from the hypervisor says "options=". What's going on here? When I try to save the power management configuration, the Options-field is empty the next time I go to Edit Host. Running fence_ipmilan manually works fine, both from the hypervisors and the manager.

Bug 782703 - [webadmin] No power management options in GUI which was fixed mid-march this also seem in same area (could be fixed by now, but you are not using latest devel branch), so again, i'd check from api first: Bug 784790 - [ovirt][engine][webadmin] - power management - slot information is not being saved (bladecenter) It does indeed seem to be an engine bug. The cli gives me the following info: oVirt shell (connected)]# show host rhevh1.domain id : 4e6ccb2c-84c7-11e1-aecc-2c768aac9498 name : rhevh1.domain address : 10.23.30.110 cluster-id : 99408929-82cf-4dc7-a532-9d998063fa95 cpu-name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6174 cpu-speed : 2200.0 cpu-topology-cores : 6 cpu-topology-sockets : 1 iscsi-initiator : iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:a85815241216 ksm-enabled : True memory : 25194135552 port : 54321 power_management-address : 10.0.102.150 power_management-enabled : True power_management-options-option-name : power_wait power_management-options-option-value: 4 power_management-options-option-name : lanplus power_management-options-option-value: yes power_management-type : ipmilan power_management-username : root status-state : up storage_manager-priority : 5 storage_manager-valueOf : false summary-active : 0 summary-migrating : 0 summary-total : 0 transparent_hugepages-enabled : True type : rhel So apparently the options are saved. They are lost if I edit the host and don't manually add the options again before clicking Ok, so it seems to be saving the options correctly, but not re-reading them. Manual fencing by klicking Power Management -> Restart fails as well, even though the options seem to be passwd correctly when I do that. The fact that this option exists means that the first bug you pointed out doesn't match, but the second one seems to be the same one I'm seeing. 2012-04-12 20:48:19,307 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.FencingExecutor] (http--0.0.0.0-8443-6) Executing <Status> Power Management command, Proxy Host:rhevh2.domain, Agent:ipmilan, Target Host:rhevh1.domain, Management IP:10.0.102.150, User:root, Options:power_wait=4,lanplus=yes 2012-04-12 20:48:19,309 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.FenceVdsVDSCommand] (http--0.0.0.0-8443-6) START, FenceVdsVDSCommand(vdsId = 6fdbf336-84c8-11e1-82ef-2c768aac9498, targetVdsId = 4e6ccb2c-84c7-11e1-aecc-2c768aac9498, action = Status, ip = 10.0.102.150, port = , type = ipmilan, user = root, password = ******, options = 'power_wait=4,lanplus=yes'), log id: 11a7cfb9 2012-04-12 20:48:21,529 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.FenceVdsVDSCommand] (http--0.0.0.0-8443-6) FINISH, FenceVdsVDSCommand, return: Test Failed, Host Status is: unknown.

Reasons:VDS_FAILED_FENCE_VIA_PROXY_CONNECTION,VDS_FENCING_OPERATION_FAILED,VAR__TYPE__HOST,VAR__ACTION__RESTART I'm trying to figure out how to try to fence a machine from the cli, but I can't figure out the correct syntax. The help seems to be a bit broken: [oVirt shell (connected)]# action host rhevh1.domain fence error: status: 400 reason: Bad Request detail: Action [fenceType] required for fence Why do I need to specify fenceType when it's already stored for the host (and how do I specify it for that matter)?
