Just having some woes with making fence_ipmilan work with some Supermicro
servers (Don't say use the supermicro IPMI Tool, we're trying to get around
that.)

The problem is, using fence_ipmilan, we can initiate a boot (off then on)
from the web GUI, or from the CLI via...


*# cobbler system reboot --name=test123*
*task started: 2015-08-05_092815_power*
*task started (id=Power management (reboot), time=Wed Aug  5 09:28:15 2015)*
*cobbler power configuration is:*
*      type   : ipmilan*
*      address: 192.168.1.5*
*      user   : user*
*      id     :*
*running: /usr/sbin/fence_ipmilan*
*running: /usr/sbin/fence_ipmilan*
*received on stdout: Powering off machine @ IPMI:**192.168.1.5**...Failed*

*received on stderr:*
*running: /usr/sbin/fence_ipmilan*
*received on stdout: Powering off machine @ IPMI:**192.168.1.5**...Done*

*received on stderr:*
*cobbler power configuration is:*
*      type   : ipmilan*
*      address: **192.168.1.5*
*      user   : user*
*      id     :*
*running: /usr/sbin/fence_ipmilan*
*received on stdout: Powering on machine @ IPMI:**192.168.1.5**...Failed*

*received on stderr: ipmilan: Power still off*

*running: /usr/sbin/fence_ipmilan*
*received on stdout: Powering on machine @ IPMI:192.168.1.5...Done*

*received on stderr:*
**** TASK COMPLETE ****

So that's great.  My real question comes from the fact that I can't make
cobbler set these machines to reboot via the Web GUI to Netboot/PXE.  It
just seems to never issue the right command via fence_ipmilan (which
actually uses IPMITOOL)

I can do it fine in IPMITOOL:

*ipmitool -H 192.168.1.5 -U user  -I lanplus -P password chassis bootdev
pxeipmitool -H 192.168.1.5 -U user  -I lanplus -P password chassis power
reset*

And the system reboots into PXE boot mode.

So is there something I have to mangle in
/etc/cobbler/fence_ipmilan.template?

Something Else?

All help is appreciated.

Thanks.
