fence_iLO Slow Response

RedHat 5.3

iLO version 1.70
Onboard Administrator 2.32

Setting up a RHEL cluster and am having a hard time with the speed at which fence_iLO logs in.

fence_iLO does log in and reboot the system but it is taking a very long time. Just to do a status takes 13 second. We need it to happen instantly the way it does when I ssh into iLo and do "reset /system1 hard" it goes down instantly.

Shalom,

Check for new firmware for iLo. Your version looks pretty new though.

You may have a hardware problem and need to have the thing replaced.

This is happening on multiple BL260's, so I don't think it is hardware related. It could be firmware ver related, but this is pretty new. Are you doing something similar? What is your response like? It is taking over 2 minutes to do the shutdown.
