[Linux-cluster] DRAC5 fencing problem with Redhat 5.3 cluster

[Dan Hayes]

I have 8 Dell servers all loaded with Redhat 5.3.  The machines have an
external and internal IP address.  The cluster is configured on the internal
ip address.

The cluster appears to be working fine except for fencing.  I try to
manually fence a node, but get a connection error
[root at w002 ~]# fence_node lb001.domain.com
agent "fence_drac5" reports: Unable to connect/login to fencing device

I was able to get the fence_drac5 command to work directly by adding the
"-x" option for using SSH.  It says the connection times out, but it does
shut down the other machine
[root at w002 ~]# fence_drac5 -a 165.289.178.221 -l root -p pass -x
lb001.domain.com
Connection timed out

Why does the connection time out?  And how do I add the "-x" option to the
cluster.conf file so that the fencing agent can connect?

Here are my /etc/hosts and /etc/cluster/cluster.conf files.
