[Users] ovirt 3.3 and ilo2 for power fencing?

Hello, is this combination supported? I'm trying to configure Power Management, but I get this: Power Management test failed for Host f18ovn03.Parse error: Ignoring unknown option 'option=status' Unable to connect/login to fencing device What would be correct setup? Any way to test from command line too? The hw is an HP blade BL685 g1 with iLO2 mgmt Thanks in advance. Gianluca

I forgot an important thing. I configured from webgui and the test succeeded, bu actually the blade was put in power off, not reboot And above the message I got inside the gui Gianluca

That's odd. "status" is indeed not an ilo option, it's an action. Do you have anything filled in the "Options" field of the host's power management dialog? Could you copy the thread starting with "fenceNode" from your vdsm.log?

When was the host powered off? during test, or when there has been a need for fencing? Dan.

I don't find that string... neither in f18ovn03 (where I configured fencing and clicked the test button) nor in f18ovn01 (the node that oVirt should have used to test fencing I suppose)

Dan.
Starting point was f18ovn03 and f18ovn01 configured without power mgmt I went into edit f18ovn03 and configured power mgmt. After click "test", after several seconds returned successful in the power mgmt window. But when I clicked "ok" button to save, then I saw the error in events tray of the gui. And the host in "reboot" state in the Gui with hourglass: is this expectd behaviour when you configure power mgmt for a host that it is rebooted? The host remained in "reboot" state with hourglass so I went to see the iLO console. And I saw that the server was in power off state. I waited a little but nothing happened. I noticed that if I powered on the server, after a few seconds it was powered off again.... I presume by oVirt... Gianluca

fenceNode should be sought on the fencing host (f18ovn01) not the victim. do you have any other host in the datacenter? Maybe your vdsm.log has been log-rotated? Could you look at your engine.log for hints?

Not at all. "test" ought to be harmless, and never cause an unintentional reboot.

Nodes and engine configured right today. I can send full logs for engine and vdsm hosts as they have not been rotated yet
When was the host powered off? during test, or when there has been a need for fencing?
After clicking OK in the window when you configure power mgmt. Donna about eventual need for fenging, but it could be as I'm having right now problems in activating the storage domain (see the other thread)

Ok for "test" phase inside the configuration window. But when then you want to confirm the change and click on "ok" button? Anything expected?

Hosts only get fenced when they aren't reachable, not during tests and also not if you confirm changes to power management settings - or at least I've never seen an issue with this. You can test fence_ilo2 from command line (if you try a reboot from command line I suggest to set the host into maintenance mode in oVirt as otherwise oVirt tries to fence the host too and ILO/IPMI interfaces sometimes show strange behavior when resetting it twice): # /usr/sbin/fence_ilo2 --help If ilo fencing isn't working as expected (e.g. host gets powered off instead of rebooted even if action is set to reboot you could try if fence_ipmilan does the trick. You could also check if you're using the latest BIOS version... Regards, René

Ok. Thanks for clarifying this

These same blades was configured in the past with RHCS and RHEL 5.x I've already used fence_ilo2, fence_drac5 and fence_ipmilan in both RHEL/CentOS 5.x and 6.y I remember in the past the logic changed regarding fencing So sometimes there was this workflow depending on agent and its actions' support: poweroff status poweron And sometimes there were problems in timing responses so that the node remained in power off state. I also opened a bug for this with an improved suggestion, I don't remeber right now some years ago for the python script So the question is about how gui settings translates into fence_ilo2 generated command so that I can reproduce it Thanks for the suggestion about putting host into maintenance
If ilo fencing isn't working as expected (e.g. host gets powered off instead of rebooted even if action is set to reboot you could try if fence_ipmilan does the trick. You could also check if you're using the latest BIOS version...
Eventually I'll try it. Blades bios is the latest available as they don't receive updates any more. For iLO2 fw I think they are on 2.x version even if the better release probabbly was around 1.80 I'll check also this Gianluca

Good afternoon, Does anyone knows how to add audio device to a desktop VM? Best regards, Ricardo Esteves.

yes, in 3.2. in 3.3 it allows to choose if to enable it or not for either desktop or server
