Hello colleagues,=20

if some wants to test stonith and is unsure how to use parameters with =
stonith devices he checks which parameters are available by doing:=20

sles11ha2:~ # stonith -t external/libvirt  =20
usage:=20
         stonith [-svh] -L=20
         stonith [-svh] -t stonith-device-type -n=20
         stonith [-svh] -t stonith-device-type -m=20
         stonith [-svh] -t stonith-device-type {-p stonith-device-parameter=
s | -F stonith-device-parameters-file | -E | name=3Dvalue...} [-c count] =
-lS=20
         stonith [-svh] -t stonith-device-type {-p stonith-device-parameter=
s | -F stonith-device-parameters-file | -E | name=3Dvalue...} [-c count] =
-T {reset|on|off} nodename=20

stonith -t external/libvirt  -n=20
hostlist  hypervisor_uri  reboot_method  =20

You would assume that you have to provide stonith params with "-p".=20

I wanted  to test stonith mechanisms for qemu+libvirt and the stonith =
parameters with "-p". =20

sles11ha2:~ # stonith -t external/libvirt -p "hostlist=3Dsles11ha1:sles_han=
ode1 hypervisor_uri=3Dqemu+tcp://147.2.90.22/system reset_method=3Dpower_cy=
cle"  -T reset sles_hanode1=20
external/libvirt[5462]: ERROR: Should never happen: Called for host =
sles_hanode1 but sles_hanode1 is not in hostlist=3Dsles11ha1:sles_hanode1.=
=20
CRIT: external_reset_req: 'libvirt reset' for host sles_hanode1 failed =
with rc 1=20

-->FAIL=20

If you do not provide the parameter "-p" then it works as expected:=20

sles11ha2:~ # stonith -t external/libvirt  hostlist=3Dsles11ha1:sles_hanode=
1 hypervisor_uri=3Dqemu+tcp://147.2.90.22/system reset_method=3Dpower_cycle=
  -T reset sles11ha1=20
external/libvirt[5567]: notice: Domain sles_hanode1 was stopped=20
external/libvirt[5567]: notice: Domain sles_hanode1 was started=20

--> WORKS=20

I know, there are more serious bugs, but it would be fine to fix this as =
it is very confusing or misleading.=20


regards=20
