You need to use whichever fence device is appropriate, not look for easiest. By your question, I'm guessing that you may not understand what the fence device is. Pacemaker needs to be able to force reboot nodes to prevent a situation where a node or nodes lose contact with one another and multiple hosts attempt to start the same services. Your fence device can be an HP ILO, a Dell DRAC, and Cisco UCS Manager, VMWare vsphere, rhevm, etc. It needs to be something that can force control the power of your system from outside of the system itself.
In your case, you should probably use fence_vmware_soap, which is provided by the fence-agents-vmware-soap.x86_64 package.

Hi there,
I am wondering if I could add start/stop ksh scripts provided by 3rd party to cluster... I read that script must be ocf/lsb compliant, however, in AIX I can just set up two separate scripts for starting and stopping application. Can similar be done under RH Linux cluster?

FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8)
NAME
fence_ipmilan - Fence agent for IPMI over LAN
fence_ilo3 - Fence agent for HP iLO3 (symlink)
fence_ilo4 - Fence agent for HP iLO4 (symlink)
fence_idrac - Fence agent for Dell iDRAC (symlink)
fence_imm - Fence agent for IBM Integrated Management Module (symlink)
DESCRIPTION
fence_ipmilan is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with machines controlled by IPMI. This agent calls support software using ipmitool
(http://ipmitool.sf.net/).
To use fence_ipmilan with HP iLO 3 or HP iLO 4 you have to enable lanplus option (lanplus / -P) and increase wait after operation to 4 sec-
onds (power_wait=4 / -T 4)
fence_ipmilan accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_ipmilan can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
Vendor URL: http://www.intel.com
