Hi Yedidyah, Keep in mind it appears that your instructions are assuming some level of in depth knowledge of *some* database not described in that thread.
In other words, for someone not extremely familiar with the oVirt database location and tables, would not have a clue as to what you're talking about in this email.
I'm guessing this database is located locally on my ovirt-engine, but I wouldn't know where to start in how to get into it without causing major problems (ie, do I need to turn off the engine first?) and it would help if there were a detailed example with sql commands to make the necessary modifications to the dB to add a fence agent completely.
This wasn't my email, it was Eli Mesika's. I just remembered that he sent it so it was easy to find. I agree that the instructions are not complete. The database was created during setup - you were asked about that and probably accepted the defaults, which create a local database called 'engine'. You can connect to it by doing: su - postgres psql engine Obviously, do not change anything before you understand what you are doing and have some good backup. You can read, and usually update, without taking the engine down. There is quite a lot of material on the ovirt wiki - please search and read a bit - e.g. for 'ovirt database'. Do not hesitate to ask (on-list) again if you have questions. You can also ask on irc for faster help.

Hi again Didi, Thanks for your help, I'll do some digging. Also, the below line made me chuckle. Last time I was on IRC, there were crickets for an entire 8 hour day, not a single response, just a lot of signin/off. ;) Dave On Mon, Mar 17, 2014 at 8:53 AM, Yedidyah Bar David <didi@redhat.com> wrote:
