Another node (with standby=true) might be an option.
Or try and get a newer version.

Remove the "redhat/" part.

'name' is the name of the machine to be shot and is filled in at runtime

This looks like crmsh not knowing how to find the agent's metadata and can be ignored.

"man fence_scsi" looks like you need a value for "key" though
