fence_mcdata - I/O Fencing agent for McData FC switches
SYNOPSIS
fence_mcdata [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_mcdata is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with McData FC switches. It logs into a McData switch via telnet and disables 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_mcdata accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_mcdata can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.
After a fence operation has taken place the fenced machine can no longer connect to the McData FC switch. When the fenced machine is ready
to be brought back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the McData FC switch needs to be enabled. This can be done by running
fence_mcdata and specifying the enable action.

fence_baytech - I/O Fencing agent for Baytech RPC switches in combination with a Cyclades Terminal Server
SYNOPSIS
fence_baytech [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
This fencing agent is written for the Baytech RPC27-20nc in combination with a Cyclades terminal server. The Cyclades TS exports the RPC's
serial port via a Telnet interface. Other interfaces, such as SSH, are possible. However, this script relies upon the assumption that
Telnet is used. Future features to this agent would allow the agent to work with a multitude of different communication protocols such as
Telnet, SSH or Kermit.
The other assumption that is made is that Outlet names do not end in space. The name "Foo" and "Foo " are identical when the RPC prints
them with the status command.
fence_baytech accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_baytech can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.
