Hi Martin, thanks for the reply. Do you have any experience with external/vmware? I read that it isn't compatible with ESX Hosts?
Do you have any experiences with the libvirt? It sounds very promising to me. Normally a simple soap call to reboot the guest would be enough to have kind of stonith. You are right there could be a scenario where we would need to stonith the esx host but lets start with the simple things. The whole topic is kind of a black whole in my opinion because there isn't that much information available.

See this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/pacemaker/62850?search_string=Pacemaker%20in%20VMware%20guests;#62850 I am planning to experiment with libvirt (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html), so please let me know your proceedings when you go this way. The only problem I see is: what about the esx-hosts, isn't there a scenario when you want to kill the host (and that could be rather problematic)?
