Proxmox HA fencing and Dell iDrac7

Hi all,

This is not really a proxmox issue but I am hoping someone may offer some advice.

I have a proxmox cluster built but am having issues with fencing. The servers were supplied with idrac7 cards. These appear to differ slightly to idrac6 and fencing does not work :(

When a fault is detected, proxmox issues a reboot to the drac on the second node, but receives a failure message back. It then retries, over and over again. The server continually resets.


In testing outside of proxmox, I receive the following (see at bottom) when testing fencing... Is there any way round this or am I screwed?

Many thanks

Phil
