Description Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2009-08-07 04:24:58 UTC 
Hi all,

I'd like to have fence_virsh as part of the standard cman package for RHEL5.5.

It would be a very great addition, even as totally unsupported agent, within the distribution.

It's becoming more and more commont to test using VM´s based on libvirt/virsh/qemu setup and fence_virsh is a lot simpler (aka less overhead) to use compared to fence_xvmd that requires software running on the hosting machine.

Because of virsh limitation (not being cluster aware), I think it should not be supported but would still be a powerful tool for customers to use in testing phases.

Thanks
fabio
