This is not a bug In 3.2 we had added proxy preferences see http://www.ovirt.org/Features/HostPMProxyPreferences It means that when we are fencing a Host , each Host can determine how to look for a proxy Host when a fencing operation is performed on it. Currently the default for proxy preferences is CLUSTER,DC , meaning , searching the fenced Host Cluster first and then its DC. So the term CLUSTER here is OK and functions as designed , therefor the bug is closed as NOTABUG
