Yes, it uses libvirt for all the EE admin operations performed on the virtualized EE. There is no special fencing code in the PLM implementation, even for the current non-virtualized implementation. It's free with the PLM-EE hook in opensaf_reboot.
So, if there are cases where opensaf_reboot is not being called for fencing in FM or elsewhere, we would need to change that. Alex On 06/30/2016 11:21 AM, Anders Widell wrote: > Ok, I see.
