FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8) NAME
fence_ipmilan - Fence agent for IPMI over LAN 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 you have to enable lanplus option (lanplus / -P) and increase wait after operation to 4 seconds (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. PARAMETERS
-A IPMI Lan Auth type (md5, password, or none) -a IPMI Lan IP to talk to -p Password (if required) to control power on IPMI device -S Script to retrieve password (if required) -P Use Lanplus -l Username/Login (if required) to control power on IPMI device -o Operation to perform. Valid operations: on, off, reboot, status, list, diag, monitor or metadata (Default Value: reboot) -t Timeout (sec) for IPMI operation -C Ciphersuite to use (same as ipmitool -C parameter) -M Method to fence (onoff or cycle) (Default Value: onoff) -T Wait X seconds after on/off operation (Default Value: 2) -f Wait X seconds before fencing is started -v Verbose mode ACTIONS
on Power on machine. off Power off machine. reboot Reboot machine. status This returns the status of the plug/virtual machine. diag The operational behavior of this is not known. list List available plugs with aliases/virtual machines if there is support for more then one device. Returns N/A otherwise. monitor Check if fencing device is running. List available plugs/virtual machines or get status of machine (if it does not support more). metadata The operational behavior of this is not known. STDIN PARAMETERS
