Fencing and reallocation of resources is not possible if the
fencing resource is not able to know the real status of the other
node. So, I'm going to try to remove this single point of failure
adding a second fencing method (thanks for the links). Our PDU's
are not able to disconnect a sinble power bank, so this is not
actually an option for us, but I think we have other options. <br>
<br>
I'll post if I can solve the problem. Thank you so much. You have
been very helpfull.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello everybody.
I'm trying to build an active/passive cluster for the Lustre
filesystem. Pacemaker is working fine in most situations except
one: If a node goes out of power in a 2-node cluster, and I am
using fence_ipmilan as fencing resource (for HP iLO2), the alive
node is not able to takeover the resources of the failed node. It
tries to check the fencing device trying to reboot it, but as the
node is dead (no power), the IPMI interface does not answer.

Correct, IPMI that shares power with its host should not be used as
the sole fencing device for this very reason. There is no way for
the cluster to be certain that the host is down and not just the
IPMI.
IPMI is fine as the first-attempt fencing device, but there should
be a fallback fencing device that is independent of the host (such
as a remotely controllable power switch).

I agree 100%, and do this myself.
IPMI fencing, when it works, is best because when it returns "off", we
can be *very* sure the node is actually off. As you said though, it is
electrically and mechanically coupled to the host, so it's vulnerable
to certain failure cases (ie: total loss of power, mechanical
destruction, etc).
For this, I always use a pair of switched PDUs (APC and Raritan both
work well, TrippLite works but is slow). I use a pair because I also
have power redundancy (separate UPSes, PDUs, etc). So to hand this,
you need a fairly complex stonith configuration to make it work.
In 'pcs', this is called 'STONITH Levels' and you can see how how to
build this here:

In 'crm', this is called "Fencing Topology" and you can see how to
configure it here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Fencing_topology">http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Fencing_topology</a>
In my opinion, this is the only proper configuration for fencing if
you want to remove all single points of failure.
