[Pacemaker] Stonith Device on a VM

[Nick Khamis]

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.
