Description Alex Stupnikov 2020-10-07 15:36:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

Red Hat OpenStack platform is used by many customers. It is also considered as one of the options to migrate workloads from other IaaS platforms.

The problem is that we Red Hat doesn't ship fencing agents for pacemaker clusters in OpenStack environments hosted inside OpenStack instances. OpenStack compute resources are managed by Nova, which has an API to start/stop instances.

I would like to use this request to ask to add fence_openstack or other fencing agents for OpenStack Nova in future RHEL 8 minor releases.
