Yep - I was wondering if there was additional ways to teach the
cluster utilities how to setup the parameters.

Then I assume I would write something like this in cluster.conf:

<clusternodes>
	<clusternode name="sensor01.dc3" nodeid="1" votes="1">
		<fence>
			<method name="1">
				<device name="switch1" ifIndex="10020"/>
			</method>
		</fence>
	</clusternode>
	<clusternode name="sensor02.dc3" nodeid="2" votes="1">
		<fence>
			<method name="1">
				<device name="switch2" ifIndex="10021"/>
			</method>
		</fence>
	</clusternode>
</clusternodes>
<fencedevices>
	<fencedevice agent="fence_snmp" ipaddr="10.0.0.1" comm="sw1comm" name="switch1" version="2c"/>
	<fencedevice agent="fence_snmp" ipaddr="10.0.0.2" comm="sw2comm" name="switch2" version="1"/>
</fencedevices>




But how does fence_node know to call these like:

fence_snmp -o down -v 2c -a 10.0.0.1 -c sw1comm -i 10020
fence_snmp -o down -v  1 -a 10.0.0.2 -c sw2comm -i 10021
