NAME

       fence_xcat - I/O Fencing agent for xcat environments

SYNOPSIS

       fence_xcat [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_xcat  is  a  wrapper  to  the  rpower(1)  command that is distributed with the xCAT project available at http://www.xcat.org.  Use of
       fence_xcat requires that xcat has already been properly configured for your environment.  Refer to xCAT(1) for more information on  config-
       uring xCAT.

       fence_xcat  accepts  options  on  the  command  line as well as from stdin.  fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
       fence_xcat can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.

       NOTE: It is recommended that fence_bladecenter(8) is used instead of fence_xcat if the bladecenter firmware supports telnet.   This  inter-
       face is much cleaner and easier to setup.

       Vendor URL: http://www.xcat.org
