> Let me know if that looks ok, or if you find any mistakes. The documentation itself seems fairly good at a quick read. However, this still seems to lose the pre-2.2.3 flexibility of providing arbitrary values on a per-system basis, whether via the power_id field or in some other new/better way. First, though I might be missing something, I don't see a template way to parse the old power_id string "-P -T 4" into "lanplus" and "power_wait=4", since $power_id is a single variable. Second, if you hard-code such values in a template, what happens if different systems need different values? We have one old box with an iLO2 which requires a timeout change, but applying that change to ALL our boxes with iLO2 causes THEM to have problems. In the case where only ONE value is variable I guess we can customize using power_id, but unless the previous item is wrong I don't see a way to have per-system values in general. Third, again unless I'm missing something the answer isn't to have "power_system1" and "power_system2" and ... and "power_systemN" since the command is also based on the power_type, and there's no /usr/sbin/fence_system1, /usr/sbin/fence_system2, etc. mapping.
