[Linux-cluster] fencing failing

[Brad Filipek]

I have an APC MasterSwitch as my fencing device. I configured my cluster
to use "APC" as the fencing device, and have confirmed that it has the
correct un, pw, and IP address configured. However, when it tries to
reboot a failed node, I get this in /var/log/messages:

Jul 20 15:51:28 server1 fenced[32169]: agent "fence_apc" reports:
failed: unrecognised menu response

Jul 20 15:51:28 server1 fenced[32169]: fence "server2.my.domain.com"
failed

However, when I run this command from a terminal, it runs fine and the
failed node reboots:

fence_apc -a 192.168.1.61 -l ***** -p ***** -n 6 -v


This is in rhel5
