Ugh, this is ugly. I'm evaluating oVirt currently myself and have
already suffered from a dead PSU that took down IPMI as well. I really
don't want to imagine what happens if the host with SPM goes down due to
a power failure :/ Is there really no other way? I guess multiple fence
devices are not possible right now. E.g. first try to fence via IPMI and
if that fails pull the plug via APC MasterSwitch. Any thoughts?
