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
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: fence_vmware both in ESX standalone and cluster aware (vSphere/VirtualCenter manager) are considered TechnologyPreview.
