Let me know if this is not the right place to be asking.</div><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">I have written a first version located here</div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">http://code.google.com/p/fence-xenserver/</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">Now this works fine via command line options, however I have found the following link which says that the input will be taken as name/value pairs from standard in. The link I found to this doc is around 3 years old and I was wondering if it is still valid before making any changes? Looking at fenced this does still seem to be the case.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/FenceAgentAPI</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">I was also wondering if there is any benefit to using the fencing.py library over creating a stand-alone script? Is this the suggested method of implementing a new fencing agent for Red Hat? I have actually started on a version that uses this library, is there someone on this list I can talk to about making changes to it (to take a URL instead of a ip address, and to include a UUID parameter in the options assoc array). So far I've only made a couple of changes to it, but I think a few more are coming as it isn't quite happening for me just yet.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">Lastly, I am using XenAPI.py (which is released by Citrix under the LGPL). This is more of a licensing general question, but am I ok to just include this file in my release? Reading the LGPL seems to suggest this is ok as long as the copyright notice stays, but I thought I'd ask the question just in case... I'd hate to go to the trouble of finishing this only to find out that it can't be released...</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">Thanks for your time :)</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">Matt.</font></div> </body> </html>
