1. What is the nature and description of the request?  
   An additional fencing agent based on ssh should be added to RHEV. Idea is that a generic command can be given for fencing. Thus e.g. ILO systems or blades can be fenced by connecting via ssh to the ILO itself avoiding IPMI (which is forbidden due to security reasons)

2. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)  
   As security forbids using IPMI, and single blades can only be fenced using the ILO, a generic ssh fencing daemon is needed to apply whatever command needed to power off/reboot the blade to the ILO via ssh.
   Without fence_ssh no fencing in RHEV is possible, as the remaining fence_ipmi is not allowed from the security group.
   The customer actually has a production risk at the moment already as the newly added systems can't be fenced,
   so in order of any hardware failure, ha-flaged VMs cannot be restarted.

3. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  
   Add a fence_ssh agent that is able to connect to whatever IP with Username/Password or Username/Key to a system (ILO) and run a given command.
   The command should be configurable as a fencing parameter to support as many different ILO types as possible.

4. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.  
   Configure the fence_ssh
   Run the fencing
   Check if the host was powered off /reset / etc. according to the command that has been run.

5. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  
   Not that I am aware off.

6. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  
   RHEV 3.x

7. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?  
   No.

8. List any affected packages or components.  
   RHEV / RHEV-M

9. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?  
   Yes.
