VMware::VmPerl.pm a deprecated api. The current vmware perl api is the
VI Perl Toolkit (VMware::VIM2Runtime). I have a centos 5.2 gfs cluster
running in a VMware ESX cluster (with virtualcenter). I have a mix of
CentOS VMs and physical machines participating in the GFS cluster.
I modified the fence_vixel agent to use this new api, and called it
fence_vi3. It's fairly basic and works, but could use some improvements.
I've been using it for almost a year:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/cluster-devel/2007-November/msg00056.html
The old fence_vmware agent logs into a single ESX/GSX server using the
old api and resets the targeted guest. fence_vi3 logs into the
VirtualCenter and resets the requested VM. This is needed in a ESX
cluster, since you don't know on which ESX machine your Centos/Rhel
guest is running.
I don't know if this is a supported setup, but it works. I've done a lot
of heavy testing and optimizing of gfs in this setup. My volume group
which hold my gfs filesystems is 14TB and has been in production for a
good 6 months. Obviously, YMMV.

Hello,
I am trying to set up a RHEL5 cluster inside of VMware (client request). I
see there are hints of a fence_vmware script floating around. I found one
on sources.redhat.com but this, coupled with the latest toolkit from vmware
yields a missing VMware::VmPerl.pm file. This got me to step back and think
about this a bit further.
1) is this a supported configuration?
2) what am I missing with the fence_vmware script?
3) can anyone share any working configurations with this?
Thanks!
