Fencing agents run sweet, tested this on the command line. We're
running 2.2.3 Fencing agents are the latest as of about a month ago.<br>
<br>
The problem occurs when a host fails because it's ipmi interface is
down, a hardware failure or the management module on the blade
server doesn't respond or someone has made a typo with the password
or something. Instead of the cobbler wrapper just going OK, bad
return code let's try the next host on the list it bails out.<br>
<br>
EG. When this happens on a list of multiple hosts it stops at that
point instead of continuing with the next host.<br>

<div>Hi David </div>

</div>
<div>Which power plugins are you using as fence scripts? I know a
few of them can occasionally cause problems as well. Also which
version are you running at the moment for cobbler?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you have any logs you can share? </div>

<div>Thanks,</div>

<div> Yeah, I was thinking in my head, wouldn't a simple bash

It was me putting in the update ;) I would really appreciate
it being worked on as it's not always tech savvy people using
this (excellent) feature.<br>
<br>

<br>
We're trying to use cobbler as a tool to power down
hosts and power them up in mass whenever we need to do
an image update or just for a downtime.<br>
<br>
One issue which is a little frustrating is if you run a
power command on a bunch of hosts and one fails, the
command fails at that point. I know there was a feature
request made 6 months ago to fix this, but I was
wondering if there was a work around for this.<br>

<div>Yes, I saw a recent update on that issue (not sure if
it was you). I can work on that if it is problematic,
otherwise one work-around would be to use a shell script
from the command line in a for loop. That way, and
individual failure wouldn't stop the others from
working. </div>
