Hi, this e-mail is meant as a help for those fighting with RILOE II devices and Linux-HA.
I just had to setup Linux-HA on two HP DL385 machines, CentOS 5.5, stock heartbeat 2.1.3 binaries provided by the distribution. The owners of the machines told us that they use RILOE II devices, but the "external/riloe" stonith resource didn't want to work, "returned 256" was reported by "stonith -t external/riloe ... status". Neither the old script provided by heartbeat-2.1.3 nor the newest one found at http://hg.linux-ha.org/glue/file/61a7a218b5aa/lib/plugins/stonith/external/riloe worked, both timed out. Two days of reading mail archives later and trying out several offered solutions, nothing helped. Then the real solution came as an idea or rather suspicion: could it be that HP switched to the industry-standard from their own homegrown solution? THE ANSWER IS YES. LATEST RILOE II DEVICES USE IPMI. If you want to use external/ipmi, you only need to modify it a little, though. Instead of "-I lan", you have to use "-I lanplus". This way, STONITH works.
