Hello, Again on the IPMI.
As it says in the subject, there are two ways to reset a host using an IPMI device. The external ipmi stonith plugin uses hard reset and the ipmilan stonith device which is just back goes with the power cycle. Testing ipmilan with the Qlogic BMC device, which claims to support IPMI v1.5, revealed that the power cycle request has no effect on the host. My guess is that this has been disabled somewhere (BIOS perhaps), but I don't have access to the box to verify that. The hard reset worked. The latter, however, is probably (?) not very easy on the hardware. So, which reset method should be used? I searched various documents but can't find definite answers and my experience with this kind of device is limited. I only found that The IPMI specification says that the Hard reset is optional. Comments, please.
