Seriously?? I didn't see anything like that in the docs...Maybe I just missed it. Also, why wouldn't it still validate? It should still be able to talk to the interface over the BMC/IPMI network.

The power management command is sent by the engine via a proxy host. That means you need at least one more host to act as proxy. The engine itself doesn't need to access the bmc network directly. Just like the engine needs no access to the atorage network to perform storage manipulations. I think in some recent versions fencing by the engine was introduced, but I don't have a setup in front of me to verify. On Sep 29, 2017 11:13 PM, "~Stack~" <i.am.stack@gmail.com> wrote:

No, this is an open RFE which we didn't apply yet and as far as I know there is no plan for that in the near future. So, currently there is a need for an additional host that will serve as a proxy to the fencing operation. The main reason for the existence of the proxy host is when a host that has power management configure becomes non-responsive In that case we might restart the host via its power management card But, since this host may have some HA VMs that will be migrated to another host before the problematic host is rebooted, we have to implement a shutdown->wait for OFF status from PM card->migrate HA VMs->start->wait for ON status from PM card This is done in order to prevent running a VM on two hosts which will cause corruption (brain split)
