Hi, I used APC 7920s as stonith devices for my cluster and found that the plugin that comes with Heartbeat only works for certain models Not all. Look at this thread for more info http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/users/36640?do=post_view_threaded
If you look in the source code of the apcmaster plugin it lists what APC devices are supported. In the end I wrote my own external plugin. Ok it was in Java but it worked and the cluster was up for months and I tested the stonith plugin 20 times in one day and no failure. I even gave the source code of the plugin I wrote to an IBM guy called Dave Blackshake (I think if I got his name right) for them to re-code it in C and add it to the hearbeat package. Even gave all the telnet screens. Havn't heard a thing in maybe 6 months or so. On 5/26/07, Luis Soltero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello All, For the last few days I have been trying to get stonith working with the APC 7900 PDU with very little success. My hope is that someone out there with more experience in this matter can help. So here is the problem. It seems that apc stonith support for both telnet and snmp was coded for an older version of the apc firmware. The current version of stonith is unable to communicate with the APC. I have tried both the stonith version that was released with heartbeat 1.2 and 2.09 with the same result. here is debug session using 2.x and telent hasrv2:~ # stonith -d 1 -t apcmaster -p "192.168.0.42 apc apc" -l ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILPluginUniv(0x604010) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: PILS: Plugin path = /usr/lib64/stonith/plugins:/usr/lib64/pils/plugins ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILInterfaceUniv(0x605360) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILPlugintype(0x604040) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILPlugin(0x604e10) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILInterface(0x605380) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILInterface(0x605380:InterfaceMgr/InterfaceMgr)*** user_data: 0x0 ******* ** (process:11202): DEBUG: InterfaceManager_plugin_init(0x605380/InterfaceMgr) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Registering Implementation manager for Interface type 'InterfaceMgr' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: PILS: Looking for InterfaceMgr/generic => [/usr/lib64/stonith/plugins/InterfaceMgr/generic.so] ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Plugin file /usr/lib64/stonith/plugins/InterfaceMgr/generic.so does not exist ** (process:11202): DEBUG: PILS: Looking for InterfaceMgr/generic => [/usr/lib64/pils/plugins/InterfaceMgr/generic.so] ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Plugin path for InterfaceMgr/generic => [/usr/lib64/pils/plugins/InterfaceMgr/generic.so] ** (process:11202): DEBUG: PluginType InterfaceMgr already present ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Plugin InterfaceMgr/generic init function: InterfaceMgr_LTX_generic_pil_plugin_init ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILPlugin(0x606800) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Plugin InterfaceMgr/generic loaded and constructed. ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Calling init function in plugin InterfaceMgr/generic. ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILInterface(0x607100) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILInterface(0x607100:InterfaceMgr/stonith2)*** user_data: 0x606100 ******* ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Registering Implementation manager for Interface type 'stonith2' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: IfIncrRefCount(1 + 1 ) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: PluginIncrRefCount(0 + 1 ) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: IfIncrRefCount(1 + 100 ) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: PILS: Looking for stonith2/apcmaster => [/usr/lib64/stonith/plugins/stonith2/apcmaster.so] ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Plugin path for stonith2/apcmaster => [/usr/lib64/stonith/plugins/stonith2/apcmaster.so] ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Creating PluginType for stonith2 ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILPlugintype(0x607250) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Plugin stonith2/apcmaster init function: stonith2_LTX_apcmaster_pil_plugin_init ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILPlugin(0x607c50) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Plugin stonith2/apcmaster loaded and constructed. ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Calling init function in plugin stonith2/apcmaster. ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILInterface(0x607ca0) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: NewPILInterface(0x607ca0:stonith2/apcmaster)*** user_data: 0x2abb6055d2d0 ******* ** (process:11202): DEBUG: IfIncrRefCount(101 + 1 ) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: PluginIncrRefCount(0 + 1 ) ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got '\xff' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got '\xfb' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got '\u0001' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got ' ' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got '\u000d' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 'U' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 's' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 'e' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 'r' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got ' ' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 'N' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 'a' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 'm' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got 'e' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got ' ' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got ':' ** (process:11202): DEBUG: Got ' ' ** (process:11202): CRITICAL **: Did not find string Escape character is '^]'. from APC MasterSwitch. ** (process:11202): CRITICAL **: Received [\xff\xfb\u0001 \u000dUser Name : ] Here is the same session using 1.x stonith -t apcmaster -p "192.168.0.42 apc apc" -l stonith: Successful login to APC MasterSwitch. stonith: Successful login to APC MasterSwitch. phase management outlet management power supply status The older version of stonith is able to login but since the CLI command structure has changed the program is unable to query the device names.

So the question is.... has any one been able to figure out how to make stonith work with newer version of the APC AP7900 PDUs? or should we just give up, return the APC and purchase a Baytech? Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
