FENCE_AGENT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    FENCE_AGENT(8)

NAME

       fence_wti - Fence agent for WTI

DESCRIPTION

       fence_wti  is  an  I/O  Fencing	agent which can be used with the WTI Network Power Switch (NPS). It logs into an NPS via telnet or ssh and
       boots a specified plug. Lengthy telnet connections to the NPS should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection  will
       block any necessary fencing actions.

       fence_wti  accepts  options  on	the  command  line  as	well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
       fence_wti can be run by itself with command line options.  This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.

       Vendor URL: http://www.wti.com
