[Pacemaker] Fencing with iDrac 6 Enterprise

Hi,

We have a two-node cluster of Dell servers. They have an iDRAC 6 
Enterprise each. The cluster is also backed up by a UPS with a diesel 
generator.

I realise on-board devices like the DRAC are not ideal for fencing, but 
it's probably the best we're going to be able to do. However, I've read 
in some manuals that DRAC 6 is troublesome, and that the drac STONITH 
agent in Pacemaker only deals with version 5.

Is this still current? Can anyone point me to any documentation or 
examples of configuring iDRAC 6 Enterprise for STONITH, if indeed it's 
possible?

Thanks!
Martin
