[ovirt-users] Power Management with UPS Network UPS Tools (NUT)

[Eli Mesika]

Hi

oVirt 3.5 install hypervisors with the fence-agents package which has a certain list of supported power management (PM) cards 
in oVirt 3.5 if you want to add custom PM card in addition to the supported PM cards you should follow http://www.ovirt.org/Custom_Fencing

Basically once you write your own script and install it on each host where fence-agents package is installed and modify oVirt configuration as described in the wiki, you should be able to see your custom agent in the list and use it.

Please let me know if you need any further assist with that 

CCing also Marec G who is in charge of the fence-agents package 

Thanks
Eli
