Subject: problems with power management using idrac7 on r620<br>
<br>
Hi.<br>
<br>
I've been having problem with power management using iDRAC 7 EXPRESS on<br>
a Dell R620. This uses a shared LOM as opposed to Enterprise that has a<br>
dedicated one. Every now and then, idrac simply stops responding to<br>
ping, so it can't respond to status commands from the proxy. If I send<br>
a reboot with "ipmitool mc reset cold" command, the idrac reboots and<br>
comes back, but after the problem has occurred, even after a reboot, it<br>
responds to ping, but drops 80+% of packets. The only way I can "solve"<br>
the problem is to physically restart the server. This isn't just<br>
happening on one R620 - it's happening on all of my ovirt hosts. I<br>
highly suspect it has to do with a memory leak, and being monitored by<br>
engine causes the problem. I had applied a recent firmware upgrade<br>
that was supposed to "solve" this kind of problem, but it doesn't. In<br>
other to provide Dell with more details, can someone tell me how often<br>
each host is being queried for status? I can't seem to find that info.<br>
The idrac on my file server doesn't seem to exhibit the same problem,<br>
and I suspect that is because it isn't being queried.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
fence agent for IPMI is based on ipmitool. So if ping/ipmitool is not working there is not much to do about it. I don't know enough about oVirt engine but there is no real place where fence agent can memory leak because it does not run as daemon.<br>
