[Pacemaker] Vmware Stonith device plugin which uses VMware VC

[Oscar Remí­rez de Ganuza Satrústegui]

Hi,

We are also interested on such a plugin for our virtual nodes.
We have not start implementing anything, although we could help testing 
if you get/find something.

Looking forward to finding a stonith solution for VC nodes.

Regards,
