[pve-devel] [PATCH docs 0/2] ha-manager: simplify requirements

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

These two requirements might give the impression that we highly recommend
hardware watchdogs or fence devices while in practice the Linux Kernel watchdog
has been proven to be extremely reliable and would generally be the first
recommendation if, e.g., there are no compliance requirements.

  ha-manager: remove hardware fencing from requirements
  ha-manager: move hardware watchdog out of the requirements list

[pve-devel] [PATCH docs 1/2] ha-manager: remove hardware fencing from requirements

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

This is not fully integrated at the moment.

The documentation for the `fencing` option in datacenter.cfg suggests
that /etc/pve/ha/fence.cfg can used for configuring fence devices but
such a config file is not documented anywhere.

[pve-devel] [PATCH docs 2/2] ha-manager: move hardware watchdog out of the requirements list

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

Having a hardware watchdog is not a requirement, we move it out of the
list so it is not as prominent.
