fence_lpar (8) Linux Manual Page
fence_lpar – Fence agent for IBM LPAR
Description
fence_lpar accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_lpar can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
