NAME
fence_xcat - I/O Fencing agent for xcat environments
SYNOPSIS
fence_xcat [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_xcat is a wrapper to the rpower(1) command that is distributed
with the xCAT project available at http://www.xcat.org. Use of
fence_xcat requires that xcat has already been properly configured for
your environment. Refer to xCAT(1) for more information on configuring
xCAT.
fence_xcat accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.
fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_xcat can be run by itself with command line options which is
useful for testing.
NOTE: It is recommended that fence_bladecenter(8) is used instead of
fence_xcat if the bladecenter firmware supports telnet. This interface
is much cleaner and easier to setup.
