When starting v7 server on RHEL6.0 RC2. It requires to install fence-agents rpm. However, fence-agents rpm doesn't exist in RHEL6.0 RC2 iso. It is suggested that RedHat provides the rpm together with v7 Hardware Test suite. Here is the console messages : [root@jeep01 V7]# v7 server start Tested OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 (Santiago) Kernel RPM: kernel-2.6.32-71.el6 v7 version 1.3, release 35 Checking installed rpms: package fence-agents is not installed python-lxml-2.2.3-1.1.el6.ppc64 The following rpms are required for testing: fence-agents Would you like to install them now?

------- Comment From hienn.com 2011-05-05 12:18 EDT------- I have tried v7-1.3-43 and it didn't make any difference. I'd like to know what tests will be impacted if fence-agents missing. So far I've seen network tests working fine.

RedHat has to make a special case for Power to either ignore this error on Power or provide IBM with a fix
fence-agents is only needed on the v7 server to test fencing. The lack of this rpm will have no effect on other tests.
Fence testing is not currently required in hwcert. The v7 server rpm only needs the fence-agents to support the fence test; this message can safely be ignored for now and has been marked for review in the next release.
Created attachment 559999 [details] fencing test patch to detect and report lack of fence-agents rpm on server-side
Reproduced in v7-1.5-1.el6.noarch and verified in v7-1.5-2.el6.noarch.
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: An enhancement has been made in v7 1.5 that package `fence-agents` is no more required as a dependency when installing `v7-server` package.
