There are few agents that are supported by RH/RHEL and are not included under the fence-agents-all package - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jwv1--AbEV_7hbMLWz7jKl8-ZY1r7xggWwGrlqe0Ys0/edit#heading=h.4vjzvhtgx3ke
To search for them easily, run one of the following commands:
- (ubi) dnf search fence-agents-
- (ubi-minimal) microdnf repoquery fence-agents-
- (CentOS) docker run --rm -it quay.io/centos/centos:stream9 /bin/bash -c "dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core && dnf --enablerepo=highavailability search fence-agents"
Five agents that can be included:
- fence_kubevirt - https://www.mankier.com/8/fence_kubevirt
- fence_ibm_powervs - https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/kinetic/man8/fence_ibm_powervs.8.html
- fence_ibm_vpc - https://www.mankier.com/8/fence_ibm_vpc
- fence_virt - https://linux.die.net/man/8/fence_virt or https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/fence_configuration_guide/s1-software-fence-virt-ca
- fence_lpar - https://linux.die.net/man/8/fence_lpar

Furthermore, three cloud agents might be available in UBI9:
- fence_aws - https://www.mankier.com/8/fence_aws
- fence_gce - https://www.mankier.com/8/fence_gce
- fence_azure_arm - https://www.mankier.com/8/fence_azure_arm
08/2025:
- Follow up: The agents should be added eventually to downstream supported agents by FAR https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/workload_availability_for_red_hat_openshift/24.2/html/remediation_fencing_and_maintenance/fence-agents-remediation-operator-remediate-nodes - see TELCODOCS-2444
- Fence_virt is not available upstream, but lpar is available, so we should consider adding it after https://github.com/medik8s/fence-agents-remediation/pull/167
