On no! Sorry about the misunderstanding Andrew. What I meant was, we would like to build a production pacemaker VM cluster. An now with pci passthrough, is it possible for VMs to use the stonith device installed on the host. If not, is lib-virt and fence_virsh safe enough for production?
Another question is, which of the virtual machine platforms out there play nicer with a pacemaker cluster (i.e. support things like stonith): KVM, XEN, or VMWare. Thanks in Advance, Nick.
