首先，查詢當前Vsphere /esxi版本及系統版本，確保其在受支援列表中，詳情參閱紅帽的官方文件：

Virtualization Support for RHEL High Availability and Resilient Storage Clusters

https://access.redhat.com/node/29440

Fence Device and Agent Information for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

https://access.redhat.com/articles/28603

What are the requirements for using the fence agent fence_vmware_soap?

根據紅帽給出的排錯步驟分析VMware Fence失敗的原因

How can I diagnose fence_vmware failures in RHEL 5, 6, or 7?

常見錯誤解決方法

1、 Unable to obtain correct plug status or plug is not available
 

對於RHEL5 升級至cman-2.0.115-96.el5之後的版本

對於RHEL6升級至fence-agents-3.1.5-10.el6_2.2 之後版本

如無法升級，可使用--plug引數指定虛擬機器完整清單路徑

2、fence_vmware_soap does not function correctly against vSphere 5 SOAP API
