apc_snmp as of 5.2

cisco_mds as of 5.4

ilo_mp as of 5.5

Don't bother; it has not been supported by WTI for years.  We don't have
anybody using it on RHEL5 or later.  I think adding it to RHEL5
documentation is a waste of your efforts.

Interestingly enough, this is the one place where we have a QE-stamped
(Brandon P.) feature that is not supported due to the OTHER product
(RHEVM) not being stable at this time. :o

Cisco was supposed to perform QE and provide feedback for fence_ifmib
for 5.6, but it appears they never did. :/

Comment 1 Steven J. Levine 2011-05-19 14:53:47 UTC
My RHEL 5 working draft now includes tables documenting the parameters for apc_snmp, cisco_mds, and ilo_mp (using the same descriptions as are provided in RHEL 6).  I have removed the rehvm table for now.

When I next build the document on the review server I will move this bug to MODIFIED.
