Dejan -

I found a compromise :-) Attached is a version of that plugin that
supports following parameters:

1. hostlist. A string that has a list of controlled nodes separated by
space or commas. A required parameter. In a simple form its just a
list of nodes. If one needs to use non-standard Xen configuration he
can use extended form of this parameter: "node1_name:config1_file
node2_name:config2_file". If config file isn't given it defaults to
/etc/xen/node_name.cfg

2. Dom0. Name of Dom0 Xen node. A required parameter.

3. ssh_command. SSH command that is used to ssh from DomU to Dom0.
Defaults to "/usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l root". If one wants to use SSH
keys for higher security he needs to use this parameter.

So in this form this plugin can be configured as a clone or as a set
of resources and location constraints.


I'd be very pleased if this plugin gets its way into Linux-HA distribution.
