I'm trying to use the power management feature in cobbler, but when I run any of the power commands, such as 'cobbler system powerstatus', I get the error:
Failed: Unable to obtain correct plug status or plug is not available
It is calling the fence_ipmilan agent, and I have verified that this works from the command line:
fence_ipmilan -a 172.26.145.151 -P -l root -p password -o status
Has anyone else seen this issue?

Anything else in /var/log/cobbler/ ?
I see this in /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log:

The fix to this problem was to add "lanplus=1" to /etc/cobbler/power/fence_idrac.template. This causes the underlying ipmitool command to use '-I lanplus' instead of the default '-I lan'. The lanplus option is required for this to work on our servers.
