Ooohh...that is not good. Can you please tell me if this is rhel4 or
rhel5?

Can you send your cluster.conf file? If the agent works from the command
line bu not within the cluster code, it could be an error in the conf
file. XXX out all passwords and such that you care about, or course,
before sending to list.

 Can you telnet into the apc switch and see what firmware version it is
using?
There are two version values on the welcome screen that would be nice to
know:

  Network Management Card AOS      vx.x.x
  Rack PDU APP                     vx.x.x
