Fencing in Version 4.2

[sourceminer]

I was familiar with setting up Fencing in version 4.0 and below on Proxmox. However having issues trying to find documentation with regard to setting up our Drac Cards in version 4.2. Can someone point me in the right direction? I read that the Fencing in 4.2 is automatic (just not sure what that means). Do I need to setup my DRAC interface IP's anymore?

Thanks

We currently use passive watchdog fencing. Future version will also include active fencing, but patches are not released so far.

OK great thanks for the fast feedback! also thanks for the clarification. I remember setting this up in Virtual Iron (back in the day). They had a nice Gui option to add the Drac Interfaces and login info. (possible suggestion for the future)

So it looks like in the documentation there is an option to use the hardware watchdog. Just not sure how to enable this in version 4.2
Where is the configuration file for the use of Dell Drac?
