It's not exactly a single point of failure, since you need two failures for this to matter - the first failure being the one that causes the fence, and a second one for the vcenter instance to be down at that time. > I was thinking to introduce an additional fencing device, to be used > when the virtual center is unavailable; is this a suggested > deployment? > The fecing device I'd like to use is sdb. If you have a working SBD setup, you do not need the external/vcenter plugin any more.
