external/riloe fails on ILO3 (OPENAIS HEARTBEAT COROSYNC STONITH)

This document (7008802) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 HAE

Situation

The STONITH agent external/riloe does not work with a ilo3 Interface. In a similar setup the external/riloe works with ilo2 and ilo1 interfaces

Resolution

This is a shortcoming of the external/riloe. As a workaround the STONITH agents ipmilan or external/ipmi can be used.
ILO3 interfaces should be able to talk ipmi.
