I tried Dejan's suggestion but I received the same result.  Chun have
you had the cluster working and stonith _not_ complaining for a few
days and _then_ it started to complain about the 256 code?  Or maybe
you are just now seeing that stonith is giving this message?

I believe the problem may be how stonith is interpreting the ipmi
scripts return value.

One thing I have seen in my googling is that there are not many
examples of people using stonith and ipmi at least not in the non crm
(version 1) way.  Can anyone reading this post acknowledge that they
are using it and offer any suggestions.

In case it matters (because it might) I am running on CentOS 5.1
(fully patched as of last week) on x86_64 system.

thanks and regards,

Doug
