fence_ipmilan (8) Linux Manual Page
fence_ipmilan – Fence agent for IPMI fence_ilo3 – Fence agent for HP iLO3 (symlink) fence_ilo4 – Fence agent for HP iLO4 (symlink) fence_imm – Fence agent for IBM Integrated Management Module (symlink) fence_idrac – Fence agent for Dell iDRAC (symlink)
Description
fence_ipmilan is an I/O Fencing agentwhich can be used with machines controlled by IPMI.This agent calls support software ipmitool (http://ipmitool.sf.net/). WARNING! This fence agent might report success before the node is powered off. You should use -m/method onoff if your fence device works correctly with that option.
fence_ipmilan accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_ipmilan can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
