Ahh, so it's either port= or pcmk_host_map=?  So this should look like pcmk_host_map="d-gp2-dbpg0-1:d-gp2-dbpg0-1;..." in my case?  How then is this different from pcmk_host_list?  Or is pcmk_host_list supposed to be something else entirely than what I've guessed?

My cluster node names and vm names are identical in all cases.

No selinux...  According to dpkg -S, the file /usr/sbin/fence_vmware_soap comes from the fence-agents package, which is installed on all nodes, I believe as a dependency of pacemaker.  On a fresh machine where I install the corosync, pacemaker, and pcs packages, the full output of `pcs stonith list` is as follows - which gives errors for both fenc_vmware_soap and fence_ovh.  Perhaps there is a bug in the packaging?
