FENCE_ACK_MANUAL(8)						      cluster						       FENCE_ACK_MANUAL(8)

NAME
       fence_ack_manual - a program to override fenced fencing operations

SYNOPSIS
       fence_ack_manual [OPTIONS] nodename

DESCRIPTION
       When  fenced(8)	fails  to  fence a node, it retries indefinately.  fence_ack_manual(8) tells fenced to stop retrying and consider the node
       fenced.

       It is important that this only be done after the node has been manually turned off or prevented from writing to	shared	storage.   Without
       this manual action and verification, the storage that fencing protects may become corrupted.

       When  fenced  fences a node that has no fence devices defined in the cluster configuration, the fencing operation fails.  This failure will
       be repeated indefinately until fence_ack_manual is run by an operator to indicate the node is in a safe state  to  proceed.   (Defining	no
       fencing devices for node is the equivalent of using the fence_manual agent in previous versions.)

OPTIONS
       -h     Print a help message describing available options, then exit.
