[Linux-cluster] fence Agent

[Amjad Syed]

Well , i am running RHEL 6.3 on  INSPUR NFS5280 . For some reason  the
ipmitool and drivers stopped working.

While restarting /etc/init.d/ipmi , it would just hang.

Is it that ipmitool is not communicating  with BMC .?

What is the best way to tackle this issue ?

Thanks
