Description Marek Grac 2009-12-17 20:39:58 UTC

Current version of vmware fence agent (techpreview) is not cluster aware. New fence agent should support VMware ESX/ESXi/VC/Server 1/Server 2 and be cluster aware. That will require that user must install VI Perl or VIX API to every node which do fencing.

New agent with these features is part of upstream from Jan 19 2009. 

ReleaseNote: user have to install VI Perl/VIX API to every note which do fencing
