The vmware stonith is for testing only, NOT for production. > I've got a total of 4 vms on 2 physical boxes. The VMs are the elements of > the cluster. The vmware "dom0" are not members of the cluster. This doesn't work. This is not protected against a split-brain at the physical level. Please see http://wiki.linux-ha.org/DomUClusters for a solution with clustering both inside dom0 and DomU. Alternatively, if you have true physical shared storage, http://www.linux-ha.org/SBD_Fencing might be an option.
