STONITH agent external/ibmrsa-telnet is broken (fails with parameters passed by stonithd)

[Florian Hackenberger]

Binary package hint: heartbeat

There is a bug in /usr/lib/stonith/plugins/external/ibmrsa-telnet on line 317. It checks if there is exactly one parameter specified. Unfortunately the stonith command passes the nodename it wants to reset as a second parameter. Therefore this STONITH agent always fails to STONITH :-). It would probably be correct to check if the given nodename equals the nodename the resource has been configured for, but simply removing the check is fine as well.

Please apply the attached patch or implement the proposed functionality (check if given node equals configured node).

Could this fix be backported to hardy?

Here is a sample session with stonith to show the parameter which is passed:

stonith -v -t external/ibmrsa-telnet nodename=node01 ip_address=10.4.4.65 username=SOMEUSER password=PASSWORD -T reset node01
** INFO: external_run_cmd: Calling '/usr/lib/stonith/plugins/external/ibmrsa-telnet reset node01' returned 256

** (process:744): CRITICAL **: external_reset_req: 'ibmrsa-telnet reset' for host node01 failed with rc 256

Hardy has already reached EOL (End of Life), for this reason I'm closing this bug report.
