NAME

       fence_rsa - I/O Fencing agent for IBM RSA II

SYNOPSIS

       fence_rsa [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_rsa is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the IBM RSA II
       management interface.  It logs into an RSA II  device  via  telnet  and
       reboots  the  associated machine. Lengthy telnet connections to the RSA
       II device should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because  the
       connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

       fence_rsa  accepts  options  on the command line as well as from stdin.
       Fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when  it  execs  the  agent.
       fence_rsa  can  be  run  by  itself with command line options.  This is
       useful for testing.

OPTIONS

       -a IPaddress
              IP address or hostname of the RSA II device.

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

       -l login
              Login name.

       -o action
              The  action required.  This can be reboot (default), off, on, or
              status.

       -p password
              Password for login.

       -S path
              Full path to an executable to generate the password for login.

       -v     Verbose.  Print informational messages to standard out.

       -V     Print out a version message, then exit.

STDIN PARAMETERS

       agent = < param >
              This  option  is  used  by  fence_node(8)  and  is  ignored   by
              fence_rsa.

       ipaddr = < hostname | ip >
              IP address or hostname of the device.

       login = < param >
              Login name.

       option = < param >

       passwd = < param >
              Password for login.

       passwd_script = < param >
              Full path to an executable to generate the password for login.
