I'm new to the Linux-HA clustering, though I've had experience
with RedHat's Cluster packages for several years. I'm trying to see how
the open source software compares.

So, I set up two KVM Virtual servers running RHEL6 and compiled and
installed the Cluster Glue, Heartbeat, and Pacemaker software. I was
able to get two nodes running, though there are some errors which I will
need to track down.

 From my other cluster experience, I know that getting fencing/stonith
set up properly is something necessary and I want to work on that even
before I try to track down other problems further. Without the ability
to kill off a node, odd things can happen. So, my focus right now is on
finding a working stonith device for this setup.

I got all of the pieces I think I need for the external/libvirt device,
have fence_virtd running on the host box and I do get output on both
host and clients from the fence_xvm command:

1023$ fence_xvm -o list
RH5_LIS0 25132742-8e3a-a1f2-a862-de3705ea8d8f on
RH5_LIS1 2b4d4813-0107-6aec-a66f-2159ec95da4c on
RH5_LIS2 fa6e2603-f7d6-34fa-dd03-4886cdf6e44b on
RH5_LIS3 aafc6639-2d29-8bbe-4d62-38498f390563 on
RH6_WITS7 51c15635-889f-7213-b0e2-e213f771e52a on
RH6_WITS8 2ffdfebe-d49b-698b-b76c-a4abd8cbf42a on

Where I am running into problems right now is translating the
information I have from this command into the proper setup and syntax to
set this as a stonith device and actually test killing off a node. The
information given by this command gives the names of the virtual
machines. But in my cluster setup, I have given these node names:

lv7-eli = RH6_WITS7
lv8-eli = RH6_WITS8

What is the proper stonith command that will actually kill off a node in
such a KVM setup? And how does that translate into settings I would add
to my ha.cf file?

Thanks,
Tom Hanstra
