NAME
fence_ipmilan - Fence agent for IPMI over LAN
fence_ilo3 - Fence agent for HP iLO3 (symlink)
fence_ilo4 - Fence agent for HP iLO4 (symlink)
fence_idrac - Fence agent for Dell iDRAC (symlink)
fence_imm - Fence agent for IBM Integrated Management Module (symlink)
DESCRIPTION
fence_ipmilan is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with machines controlled by IPMI. This agent calls support software using ipmitool
(http://ipmitool.sf.net/).
To use fence_ipmilan with HP iLO 3 or HP iLO 4 you have to enable lanplus option (lanplus / -P) and increase wait after operation to 4 sec-
onds (power_wait=4 / -T 4)
fence_ipmilan accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_ipmilan can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
