NAME

       fence_sanbox2 - Fence agent for QLogic SANBox2 FC switches

DESCRIPTION

       fence_sanbox2 is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with QLogic SANBox2 FC switches.  It logs into a SANBox2 switch via telnet and dis-
       ables a specified port. Disabling  the port which a machine is connected to effectively fences that machine. Lengthy telnet connections	to
       the switch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

       fence_sanbox2  accepts  options	on  the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
       fence_sanbox2 can be run by itself with command line options.  This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
