[Linux-cluster] iLo3 and RedHat 5.5 : Unable to connect/login to fencing device

Thu Mar 3 19:44:18 UTC 2011

When i added -P like down here:
fence_ipmilan -P -a xxxxxxxxlo -l admin -p xxxxxxxxx -M 'cycle' -v
Everything works, server reboots. But how do i get this "-P" option included
in fence_ipmilan.
How should my cluster.conf look like..that's the question...
