Description Jiri Belka 2015-08-07 12:00:26 UTC
Description of problem:

I suppose we could support more fence agents, ideally to have also an user-defined fence agent so one could cook its own fencing agent.

It seems to me that at least fence-agents-rhevm, fence-agents-vmware-soap and fence-virt are good candicates for support.

with rhevm fence agent one would fence virtual hosts, same with two others (ok, I'm not sure if KVM would be available under ESXi).

(There was a question about soft fence agent on ovirt users list.)

Comment 1 Oved Ourfali 2015-08-09 12:03:51 UTC
We added the basic ones. We usually add more on demand.
Targeting for 4.0 for consideration.

Comment 2 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2015-10-19 10:58:36 UTC
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Comment 3 Oved Ourfali 2015-12-31 08:27:16 UTC
Martin - let's go over the list, and consider what to do as part of the fencing work planned for 4.0.

Comment 4 Yaniv Kaul 2016-03-03 14:20:13 UTC
Closing - as there are specific bugs to add specific agents. 
We add by demand (and by what we / the community / the customers  can test.
