With the merger of Pacemaker into Red Hat, I think the Red Hat list of supported fence devices will cross over pretty well with pacemaker, but I don't know if it's 100% yet. I can say that I don't see avocent/cyclades as a fence option in the fence-agents package though. I see reference to "cylades" in the fence_baytech agent, but that doesn't seem to apply. I've written a couple of fence agents, so I can say that it's not too tricky. If you can query/open/close the ports on the PDU over SNMP, I can probably adapt a fence agent to work very easily, which you could test. I need to push an agent to add support for TrippLite PDUs anyway, so I could do both at once. If you wanted to try writing one, here is the one I'd recommend using as a template; https://github.com/digimer/fence_tripplite_snmp The main thing to change is the SNMP specific values; https://github.com/digimer/fence_tripplite_snmp/blob/master/fence_tripplite_snmp#L95 Once that works, it'd just be a matter of renaming the file to something like 'fence_avocent_snmp' or similar. Pacemaker should be able to use it, as would rhcs (the later being my forte).
