Sorry for top-posting, I'm Outlook-afflicted.

This is also my problem; In the full production environment there will be low-level hardware fencing by means of IBM RSA/ASM but this is a VMware test environment. The vmware STONITH plugin is dated and doesn't seem to work correctly (I gave up quickly due to the author of the plugin stating on this list that it probably won't work) and SSH STONITH seems to have been removed, not that it would do much good in this circumstance.

Therefore, there's no way to set up STONITH in a test environment in VMware which is where I believe a lot of people architect solutions these days, so there's no way to prove a solution works.

I'll attempt to modify and improve the VMware STONITH agent but I'm not sure how in this situation where a node has gone away and left a single remaining node, but the remaining node is then failing, how STONITH could help? Is this where the suicide agent comes in?

Regards,
Darren

Hello Dejan,

Sorry to hijack, I am also working on the same type of setup as a prototype.
What is the best way to get stonith included for VM setups? Maybe an SSH stonith?
Again, this is just for the prototype.

Cheers,

Nick.
