It "kind of" worked. I did an insert into the database to add an "xvm" fence mode. After that I had to first change the mode to ipmilan to get rid of a couple of mandatory fields. The setup also breaks when I try to edit a host. The fence mechanism makes a couple of assumptions that don't work with fence-virtd: - fence-virtd uses a keyfile, no username and password. - fence-virtd uses port=vmname to identify a VM The gui has mandatory username and password fields and the standard port/sshport field only takes numeric values. Some of the problems I ran into are probably related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1020344 On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 1:26 PM, Eli Mesika <emesika@redhat.com> wrote:

I'm running an ovirt environment (two virt hosts and one engine host) on libvirt/kvm on fedora 19. (nested KVM).
I want to fence the virtualized virtualization hosts from the engine host (or their partner host) through libvirt. Fence-virt can do this.
I know this is a bit of a niche case, but it's very useful for testing/demo purposes.
you can just edit the configs to add it (may be overridden during upgrade): VdsFenceType, VdsFenceOptionMapping and VdsFenceOptionTypes
Did that worked for you or do you need any further help? Thanks Eli

For the most part this works great. However, I can't configure fencing/power management because only hardware BMC's/fencing devices are supported.
Is this something that could/should be included in a future oVirt version? Or is there another option/workaround to test power management? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
please elaborate a bit more on what's missing. what are you trying to fence and from where?
