Well, my past experiences haven't really helped in liking the stuff ;-)

The problem with my drac5 STONITH resource, is that actually it is
talking to a drac6. I've added the default parameters (hostname of the
host as known in the cluster, IP address of the DRAC device, DRAC admin
name) and I added passwd = somethingsecret to the primitive resource.
Gave it a constraint not to run on the host it was supposed to STONITH,
but the thing refused to get started. 

I haven't filed a bug for that, but I involved Novell support, sent them
the output of the supportconfig and hb_report and hope to get something
back from them soon enough. 

Rackpdu is too long ago to tell you exactly what happened, but no
worries, I will reproduce that feature also and put it on the list when
I've got some more time. Right now I'm just trying to get my customer
satisfied with sbd STONITH. I love sbd, have been working with it in
Novell Cluster Services and it has never failed on me :-)
