Hi friends,

I was wondering what is needed to setup fence_xvm in order to use for power management in virtual nested environments for testing purposes.

I have followed the following steps:
https://github.com/rightkick/Notes/blob/master/Ovirt-fence_xmv.md

I tried also
engine-config -s CustomFenceAgentMapping="fence_xvm=_fence_xvm"
From command line all seems fine and I can get the status of the host VMs, but I was not able to find what is needed to set this up at engine UI:

At username and pass I just filled dummy values as they should not be needed for fence_xvm.
I always get an error at GUI while engine logs give:

Any idea?

Thanx,
