Error fencing proxmox cluster node

Hi all,

I have a three nodes proxmox cluster with HA (iSCSI shared storage). I've followed proxmox wiki articles for doing so and main things, such as live migration of virtual machines or automatic restarting of a HA enabled virtual machine in other node when the I provoke a crash in the node in which it was running, work great.

However, I'm not sure if my fencing configuration wil work properly because of the results of manually fencing nodes. I've tried to fence every node from each other with the next results:


I'm using IPMI in nodes 1 and 2 and iDRAC v6 in node 3. And this is my cluster.conf fencing configuration:

<fencedevices>
<fencedevice agent="fence_ipmilan" name="ipmilan_proxmox-n1" ipaddr="192.168.0.1" login="root" passwd="Password" power_wait="5"/>
<fencedevice agent="fence_ipmilan" name="ipmilan_proxmox-n2" ipaddr="192.168.0.2" login="root" passwd="Password" power_wait="5"/>
<fencedevice agent="fence_idrac" name="idrac_proxmox-n3" ipaddr="192.168.0.3" login="root" passwd="Password" power_wait="5"/>
</fencedevices>

<clusternodes>
<clusternode name="proxmox-n1" votes="1" nodeid="1">
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="ipmilan_proxmox-n1"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="proxmox-n2" votes="1" nodeid="2">
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="ipmilan_proxmox-n2"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="proxmox-n3" votes="1" nodeid="3">
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="idrac_proxmox-n3"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
</clusternodes>

When I run fence_node command in node 3 I get this output:

root@proxmox-n3:~# fence_node proxmox-n1 -vv
fence poulsen dev 0.0 agent fence_ipmilan result: error from agent
agent args: nodename=poulsen agent=fence_ipmilan ipaddr=192.168.0.1 login=root passwd=Password power_wait=5
fence proxmox-n1 failed

But in Syslog tab on web interface the next messages are shown and node-1 is actually fenced:

Jun 14 12:18:47 proxmox-n3 fenced[3371]: fencing node proxmox-n1
Jun 14 12:19:37 proxmox-n3 fenced[3371]: fence proxmox-n1 success

So my question is, can I safety ignore the fence_node error output?


Thanks in advance
