Fencing in RHEL 6 with fence_vmware_soap fails with "error from agent" when done automatically by cluster or using fence_node, but succeeds from command line
Issue
- When the cluster tries to fence a node with
fence_vmware_soap
, or I runfence_node
, it fails with "error from agent":
Feb 7 09:14:40 node1 fenced[12763]: fencing node node3
Feb 7 09:14:40 node1 abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/sbin/fence_vmware_soap'
Feb 7 09:14:40 node1 fenced[12763]: fence node3 dev 0.0 agent fence_vmware_soap result: error from agent
Feb 7 09:14:40 node1 fenced[12763]: fence node3 failed
If I run fence_vmware_soap
from the command line with the same parameters, it works fine
