iLo-Setup: "Test Failed, Host Status is: unknown"

Latest response

Hi there,

 

Our situation:

We put the iLo-Interfaces into a separate, private network (172.32.32.0/24). Our RHEV-Manager has the IP 172.32.32.1 on his second interface to communicate with the iLos. We've tested it with an HP ProLiant DL380 G7 (using iLo3) and HP ProLiant DL380 G5 (using iLo2).

 

Problem:

While trying to configure Power-Management in the Manager-GUI, we're confronted with following error message (from rhevm.log):

 

2012-06-13 15:49:06,371 INFO  [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.FenceVdsVDSCommand] (http-0.0.0.0-8443-9) FINISH, FenceVdsVDSCommand, return: Test Failed, Host Status is: unknown. The fence-agent script reported the following error: Getting status of IPMI:172.32.32.12...Chassis power = Unknown

 

Our troubleshooting yet:

  • ping is ok, iLo is reachable from the manager
  • iptables are ok as well
  • tcpdump didn't gave us any usable results
  • (In the Manager-GUI) Used an IP which isn't assigned. But this also resulted in the same error

 

Did we miss something or what could be the source of this error?

 

Greetings and thanks in advance
