See this thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/pacemaker/62850?search_string=Pacemaker%20in%20VMware%20guests;#62850

I am planning to experiment with libvirt (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html), 
so please let me know your proceedings when you go this way. 

The only problem I see is: what about the esx-hosts, isn't there a 
scenario when you want to kill the host (and that could be rather 
problematic)? 


Best,
Martin
