[Linux-cluster] Fence don't work with HP iLo2 (fw.1.42

[tameikareed]

Hi,

Do you have IPMI turned on in your kernel.  It should be if you didn't 
recompile your kernel, but it not you can install that module.  As far 
as recompiling your kernel, RedHat does not support that so you will 
have to download the vanilla kernel from kernel.org.  This will be the 
source kernel.  Once you have that I would open up a second screen and 
do a make menuconfig on the kernel that you do have installed under 
/usr/src/kernels/<kernel-version>. In the other screen install the 
source kernel with rpm -ivh <kernel src version>. Then build the kernel 
by going over to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and doing rpmbuild -bp 
kernel<version>.spec.  Below is a list of options:

        -ba    Build binary and source packages (after doing the %prep, 
%build, and %install stages).

       -bb    Build a binary package (after doing the %prep, %build, and 
%install stages).

       -bp    Executes the "%prep" stage from the spec file. Normally 
this involves unpacking the sources and applying any patches.

       -bc    Do  the "%build" stage from the spec file (after doing the 
%prep stage).  This generally involves the equivalent of a "make".

       -bi    Do the "%install" stage from the spec file (after doing 
the %prep and %build stages).  This generally involves the equivalent
              of a "make install".

       -bl    Do  a  "list check".  The "%files" section from the spec 
file is macro expanded, and checks are made to verify that each file
              exists.
After that you need to make a symbolic link over in the /usr/src/kernel/ 
directory linking back to your source directory of the 
kernel.(/usr/src/kernels/BUILD)

As far as with HP hardware, you can look on the disk. Or check this link 
out:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&mode=3&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-UNITY-I25296

I would go with the HP drivers . This should have came in hpasm package. 
I have include the instructions from the hp site:

*Installation:*
Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a 
directory on your hard drive and change to that directory.

If a previous version of the hp-OpenIPMI package has been installed, it 
must be removed before this package can be installed. To remove the 
previous version and any packages dependent on it, type the following:

      rpm -e hp-OpenIPMI

To install the package, type:

      rpm -ivh hp-OpenIPMI-< version >.rpm

The drivers will be installed to the /opt/hp/hp-OpenIPMI directory but 
not inserted. For HP ProLiant servers, the hpasm package will 
automatically load the hp-OpenIPMI drivers if required for a particular 
HP ProLiant server.

Additional information and help is available by typing either of the 
following:

      man hp-OpenIPMI

Additional information about features, installation, use, and 
troubleshooting the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents is available 
in the HOWTO documents available here: 
http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/linux/documentation.html.

Well hope this helps,
Tameika
