I am currently using fence_xvm/fence_xvmd.
So, fence_xvmd should be making decisions in this case. If a host is not available (dead), fence_xvmd checks the location of the VM we're trying to fence. If the VM was on a host the physical/bare-metal cluster has previously fenced, then fence_xvmd tells the requesting VM that the VM is indeed fenced. This of course requires fence_xvmd to be running in cluster mode and so forth. Fencing the VM works if just the VM dies, right? -- Lon -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
