A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4.21. IBM iPDU
Table 4.22, “IBM iPDU (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 and later)” lists the fence device parameters used by
fence_ipdu
, the fence agent for iPDU over SNMP devices.
Table 4.22. IBM iPDU (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 and later)
luci Field | cluster.conf Attribute | Description |
---|---|---|
Name | name | A name for the IBM iPDU device connected to the cluster into which the fence daemon logs by means of the SNMP protocol. |
IP Address or Hostname | ipaddr | The IP address or host name assigned to the device. |
UDP/TCP Port | udpport | The UDP/TCP port to use for connection with the device; the default value is 161. |
Login | login | The login name used to access the device. |
Password | passwd | The password used to authenticate the connection to the device. |
Password Script (optional) | passwd_script | The script that supplies a password for access to the fence device. Using this supersedes the Password parameter. |
SNMP Version | snmp_version | The SNMP version to use (1, 2c, 3); the default value is 1. |
SNMP Community | community | The SNMP community string; the default value is private . |
SNMP Security Level | snmp_sec_level | The SNMP security level (noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv, authPriv). |
SNMP Authentication Protocol | snmp_auth_prot | The SNMP Authentication Protocol (MD5, SHA). |
SNMP Privacy Protocol | snmp_priv_prot | The SNMP privacy protocol (DES, AES). |
SNMP Privacy Protocol Password | snmp_priv_passwd | The SNMP privacy protocol password. |
SNMP Privacy Protocol Script | snmp_priv_passwd_script | The script that supplies a password for SNMP privacy protocol. Using this supersedes the SNMP privacy protocol password parameter. |
Power Wait (seconds) | power_wait | Number of seconds to wait after issuing a power off or power on command. |
Power Timeout (seconds) | power_timeout | Number of seconds to continue testing for a status change after issuing a power off or power on command. The default value is 20. |
Shell Timeout (seconds) | shell_timeout | Number of seconds to wait for a command prompt after issuing a command. The default value is 3. |
Login Timeout (seconds) | login_timeout | Number of seconds to wait for a command prompt after login. The default value is 5. |
Times to Retry Power On Operation | retry_on | Number of attempts to retry a power on operation. The default value is 1. |
Port (Outlet) Number | port | Physical plug number or name of virtual machine. |
Delay (optional) | delay | The number of seconds to wait before fencing is started. The default value is 0. |
Figure 4.16, “IBM iPDU” shows the configuration screen for adding an IBM iPDU fence device.
Figure 4.16. IBM iPDU
The following command creates a fence device instance for an IBM iPDU device:
ccs -f cluster.conf --addfencedev ipdutest1 agent=fence_ipdu community=ipdusnmpcom ipaddr=192.168.0.1 login=root \ passwd=password123 snmp_priv_passwd=snmpasswd123 power_wait=60 snmp_priv_prot=AES udpport=111
The following is the
cluster.conf
entry for the fence_ipdu
device:
<fencedevices> <fencedevice agent="fence_ipdu" community="ipdusnmpcom" ipaddr="ipduhost" login="root" name="ipdutest1" \ passwd="password123" power_wait="60" snmp_priv_passwd="ipduprivprotpasswd" snmp_priv_prot="AES" \ udpport="111"/> </fencedevices>
