Figure 4.22, "VMware over SOAP Fencing" shows the configuration screen for adding a VMware over SOAP fence device Figure 4.22. VMware over SOAP Fencing The following command creates a fence device instance for a VMware over SOAP fence device: The following is the cluster.conf entry for the fence_vmware_soap device:
ccs -f cluster.conf --addfencedev vmwaresoaptest1 agent=fence_vmware_soap login=root passwd=password123 power_wait=60 separator=, <fencedevices> <fencedevice agent="fence_vmware_soap" ipaddr="192.168.0.1" login="root" name="vmwaresoaptest1" passwd="password123" power_wait="60" separator="."/> </fencedevices>
