fence_apc(8)fence_apc(8)NAMEfence_apc - I/O Fencing agent for APC MasterSwitch
SYNOPSISfence_apc [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTIONfence_apc is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the APC Mas‐
terSwitch network power switch. It logs into a MasterSwitch via telnet
and reboots a specified outlet. Lengthy telnet connections to the Mas‐
terSwitch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the
connection will block any necessary fencing actions.
fence_apc accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.
Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_apc can be run by itself with command line options. This is use‐
ful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
