Oracle is misrepresenting, in that case. The question is not about
whether some mechanism is being called stonith. One can refer it as
"blah blah". In cluster file systems, one mechanism is being referred
as stonith. And oracle claims that they have it, despite not having
the mechanism that is being referred to as 'stonith' or 'blah blah'
(it does not matter which term one picks up).
