[Linux-cluster] fenced not working

[Nuno Fernandes]

Hi,

I've created an rhel5 cluster using 2 servers connected to an CX3-20. I've 
successfully used multipath.

I'm trying to install cluster sw. I've created the cluster with this 
configuration (generated by system-config-cluster):

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cluster config_version="2" name="cluster">
        <fence_daemon post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/>
        <clusternodes>
                <clusternode name="xen1.server.pt" nodeid="1" votes="1">
                        <fence/>
                </clusternode>
                <clusternode name="xen2.server.pt" nodeid="2" votes="1">
                        <fence/>
                </clusternode>
        </clusternodes>
        <cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1"/>
        <fencedevices>
                <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="xen1_ilo" 
login="user" name="xen1" passwd="password"/>
                <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="xen2_ilo" 
login="user" name="xen2" passwd="password"/>
        </fencedevices>
        <rm>
                <failoverdomains/>
                <resources/>
        </rm>
</cluster>


Everything appears ok but in the messages i keep on geeting:

Mar 30 18:19:09 xen1 fenced[3017]: fencing node "xen2.server.pt"
Mar 30 18:19:09 xen1 fenced[3017]: fence "xen2.server.pt" failed

Apearently xen1 can't fence xen2. Using 

 tcpdump -i any -n port 443

i don't see any packets going to ilo of xen2. But if i try 

echo "action = reboot" | fence_ilo -a xen2_ilo -l user -p password 

it's reboots the other node. Maybe something in fenced?

Any info?
Thanks
