You configure a “meatware” STONITH device into the ha.cf file. The meatware STONITH device asks the operator to go power reset the machine which has gone down. When the operator has reset the machine he or she then issues a command to tell the meatware STONITH plugin that the reset has taken place. Heartbeat will wait indefinitely until the operator acknowledges the reset has occurred. During this time, the resources will not be taken over, and nothing will happen.
