A failure in the fence_cisco_ucs agent opens too many sessions with Cisco UCSM in RHEL 5, 6, or 7 High Availability cluster

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The cluster nodes are using fence_cisco_ucs as a fence agent, there was some issue with permissions assigned to fence device user id, due to which the fence operation on cluster node was failing. The repeated failure in fence actions had created too many open sessions on Cisco UCSM due to which it exhausted the maximum number of open sessions allowed by Cisco UCS manager.

  • Is there any issue present in fence_cisco_ucs agent due to which it leaves the session open even when the fence operation is failed?
