Hi all,
I am implementing two node cluster , but the hardware they given me contains only the Base Board Management controller (BMC) . Also I HEARD SOME BMC wont support power fencing, how can i check my There is no management port like HP ILO or Dell DRAC for cluster fencing . This hardware belongs to the vendor HCL. For BMC Configuration they are providing the exe setup file for windows to configure IPMI ip,usernmae and password but there is no setup tools for centos 5.
So i want help from some one in configuring the IPMI from Operating system level from OpenIpmi tools. if some one provide me the step by step instruction or how to in configuring the IPMI to use fence_ipmi on centos 5.4 x86_64 hardware .
Really its very urgent i have to handover the server in next 12 hours. While googling i also came across the bug in ipmi of centos 5.4 is there is any way to fix alos help me a lot.

Thanks in advance
Regards, paps

Sucks to be you:)
OTOH, I am in a similar boat and have different hardware across a two cluster and I choose to perform the safest way I could think to fence with the hardware I have, I wrote a Perl script to drop the ifAdminStatus of the port that the data runs over on my switch. Aside from power fencing with a separate device, this is pretty reliable (using drbd, so no fabric switching options).
I have another nic for mgmt that uses iptables to make sure only ssh runs through it.
I had to make my own, as the older fence_ifmib didn't do snmpv3, and the newer one uses a myriad of python deps that aren't in 5.4, but scheduled for 5.5.
Hit me offllist if you like.

If you are in India, get somehow the APC or any other power fencing or put the authorities on to me I will tell and educate them.
I don't trust HCL much.
