In the meantime, I thought I'd try running the fence_vmware_soap command, but it doesn't seem to be working, despite me using the same credentials that worked with the external/vcenter plugin. Is there a way to get more debugging information about why it says unable to connect/login? The error is thrown immediately:
# fence_vmware_soap --ip <vSphere IP> --username <my_user> --password '<my_password>' --ssl --action list Unable to connect/login to fencing device > Okay, I see that I can get a list of stonith options with `stonith describe > fence_vmware_soap`.
