[ClusterLabs Developers] [fence-agents] How to "login" other than ssh or telnet?

[Jose.Delarosa at dell.com]

Do we need to use a CLI tool to implement a fence agent? I rather stay away from redfishtool to avoid having it as a dependency (and Python v3) and would rather just use the requests library directly.

I created a fence agent for redfish, the agent can take as argument the Systems URI or can programmatically find it as it will be different across OEMs:

https://github.com/jose-delarosa/fence-agents/blob/add_redfish_fence_agent/agents/redfish/fence_redfish.py

Looking for initial feedback please.

I usually don’t use tabs to indent lines, is this a requirement?

python redfishtool.py -r <rhost> -u <username> -p <password> Systems reset ForceRestart

At which point you can take any of existing fencing/stonith agent as template and fill in actual command.
