FENCE_AGENT

NAME

DESCRIPTION

fence_wti is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the WTI Network Power Switch (NPS). It logs into an NPS via telnet or ssh and boots a specified plug. Lengthy telnet connections to the NPS should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

fence_wti accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_wti can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
