I had a working power management for magic packets up until the most recent

remotely power on a machine, I get a message like this:

task started (id=Power management (on), time=Tue Aug 12 15:12:42 2014)

failed to execute power task on cf238

*** TASK COMPLETE ***

Unfortunately, this doesn’t give me any information about what might be
failing and there is no additional information in the logs in
/var/log/cobbler.  My power template looks like this
(/etc/cobbler/power/fence_ether_wake.template):

fence_ether_wake "$power_address"

Hmm, I don't have any idea - perhaps behavior changed with 2.4 -> 2.6 (I hope not). While poking around found a couple other issues:

- The default settings config has:

# settings for power management features.  optional.
# see https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Power-management to learn more
# choices (refer to codes.py):
#    apc_snmp bladecenter bullpap drac ether_wake ilo integrity
#    ipmilan ipmitool lpar rsa virsh wti
power_management_default_type: 'ipmitool'

but:

- The link doesn't exist. Perhaps should be http://www.cobblerd.org/manuals/2.6.0/4/5_-_Power_Management.html
- codes.py doesn't seem to contain anything useful
- The shipped fence files seems to be:
fence_apc_snmp.template
fence_bladecenter.template
fence_bullpap.template
fence_drac.template
fence_ilo.template
fence_ipmilan.template
fence_lpar.template
fence_rsa.template
fence_virsh.template
fence_wti.template

So ether_wake, integrity, and impitool are now gone, but perhaps expected: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/315

Probably should be removed from the list though.
