Unable to fence nodes with fence_pve using pacemaker

[aichimansible]

Version: 4.14.0.13-2d9c I can fence nodes with the following command, but I cannot fence them using pacemaker:

fence_pve -a 192.168.1.3 -A -l test2@pve -p secret -n 204 –ssl-insecure -o reboot
I enabled the verbose mode for the fencing device and this is the relevant section from the logs:

Here is the stonith config:

[root@lab4 tests]# pcs stonith config
Resource: fence_lab5 (class=stonith type=fence_pve)
Attributes: fence_lab5-instance_attributes
ip=192.168.1.3

[root@lab4 tests]# pcs stonith fence lab5
Error: unable to fence 'lab5'
stonith_admin: Couldn't fence lab5: No data available

I can confirm that the vmid is 100% correct. I am not sure if this issue should be addressed here:

RESULT [400]: {"errors":{"vmid":"type check ('integer') failed – got 'lab5'"},"data":null} ]

Run pcs stonith update fence_lab5 plug= pcmk_host_check= pcmk_host_list pcmk_host_map=lab5:204 to solve the issue. You can use ; in pcmk_host_map to map more nodes to plugs

Thank you very much, sir! This fixed my issue. I followed a technical article to set this up and the pcmk_host_map option was not mentioned.
