Hello,
I'm testing ovirt for potential deployment and one of the metrics for its success relies on the high availability feature. In my research on this feature, I found scattered documentation indicating that fencing is a prerequisite. On my test hardware, I don't have any LOM/IPMI but I see that APC managed PDUs are supported, which I do have.
The problem is when I try to configure Power Management to use the "apc" type, I get this error:
Test Failed, Host Status is: unknown. The fence-agent script reported the following error: Failed: You have to enter plug number Please use '-h' for usage
ovirt-engine/engine.log tells me:

The fence-agent script reported the following error: Failed: You have to enter plug number Please use '-h' for usage
I've tried to add "port=1" to the Options field but that seems to have no effect.
Any ideas? Is there any way to configure a "dumb" power management / fencing configuration for testing?
If you still have the problem, can you please put also the vdsm log (look for "fenceNode" ) Thanks
