[Users] Instructions to add a remote controlled power strip not in the native list?

[David Smith]

All right, serious progress. Thanks to all for your nudges in the right
direction.
I've managed to get my ovirt to recognize and use the agent.
I have a new problem however

I get this message when the fence_raritan agent is run: Ignoring unknown
option 'option=status' fence
So it appears that my fence_raritan agent is being sent "--option" instead
of "--action"

Since the default behavior is "reboot" (fence_raritan expects --action= not
--option=) the systems reboot every time a status request is sent :( hehe

Related:? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=987446
I'm not using "concurrent"

So the question is, does anyone here know what the best course of action to
resolve this issue is?  My host machines are running centos 6.5.
Is this problem within a fencing package, ovirt, or other?

I tried to set option=action in the engine database, but it appears theres
probably only a few (3?) mappings possible there, unless I'm wrong and
there are more?


This is what I've changed for now, using 3.3 cluster;
UPDATE "vdc_options" SET
option_value='apc:secure=secure,port=ipport,slot=port;apc_snmp:port=port;bladecenter:secure=secure,port=ipport,slot=port;cisco_ucs:secure=ssl,slot=port;drac5:secure=secure,slot=port;eps:slot=port;ilo:secure=ssl,port=ipport;ipmilan:;ilo2:secure=ssl,port=ipport;ilo3:;ilo4:;rsa:secure=secure,port=ipport;rsb:;wti:secure=secure,port=ipport,slot=port;raritan:slot=port,port=ipport;'
where option_id=389;

UPDATE "vdc_options" SET
option_value='apc,apc_snmp,bladecenter,cisco_ucs,drac5,eps,ilo,ilo2,ilo3,ilo4,ipmilan,rsa,rsb,wti,raritan'
where option_id=395;
