Flaky ilo performance

[Darrell Frazier]

Hi I have 2 DL380 G4 with iLO (v1.89) configured in a cluster using Redhat Cluster Suite. I am in the midst of testing and seeing some flaky performance with one of the nodes:

1) Node 1 - I can stop, start, and reboot the system using the fence_ilo command with no issues.

2) Node 2 - I can stop, start, and reboot the system using fence_ilo, but sometimes when I do a reboot or stop, I get the following errors (from var/log):

fenced[3053]: agent "fence_ilo" reports: Connect failed: connect: No route to host; No route to host at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/SSL.pm line 104, <> line 4.

I am going nuts over this issue. Could the iLO card be failing?

Also, After a stop or reboot, the iLO card is unavailable over the network, even though the network lights and iLO port are lit.

Hi,
Can you explain further how your cluster is configured... which version of RedHat CS etc...

Cheers,
Rob
