While true it will have an object definition as it will be deploying the nodes
just not the VMs. RHEV does have an API that allows for VM control. If
OpenIMPI’s lanserv doesn’t work out I’ll be looking in to adding the
functionality to control RHEV/KVM instances via the API and trying to integrate
that in to xCAT.

Mark,
I do not think xCAT can do that. In order for xCAT to control power, it needs
an object definition to operate on.

Subject: [xcat-user] KVM/RHEV Setup
________________________________
I have been tasked with doing some internal training on xCAT. Since I have a
nice, stable RHEV setup I have everyone setup with their own private lab
environment and so far my testing has gone well. The only bit I can’t figure
out is power control. I’ve been through the docs and have seen where xCAT can
handle power when it knows about RHEV and is deploying the virtual machines but
that’s not what I need. This is supposed to simulate a physical environment. Is
there a way to have xCAT control power from a virtual head node on virtual
nodes that weren’t created by xCAT?
