There is a new implementation of the fence_vmware agent written in python in the GIT tree: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/cluster.git?p=cluster.git;a=tree;f=fence/agents/vmware;h=d07bfd7a8d6f445f15f793626cf493a9edf11833;hb=refs/heads/master This one uses the new libfence python infrastructure and hopefully does what you need. Check it out and let us know. Kevin On Thu, 2008-10-09 at 14:55 -0600, Andrew A. Neuschwander wrote: > VMware::VmPerl.pm a deprecated api.
