fence_bladecenter_snmp: Fence agent for IBM BladeCenter over SNMP

NAME

fence_bladecenter_snmp - Fence agent for IBM BladeCenter over SNMP

DESCRIPTION

fence_bladecenter_snmp is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with IBM BladeCenter chassis. It issues SNMP Set request to BladeCenter chassis, rebooting, powering up or down the specified Blade Server. fence_bladecenter_snmp accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_bladecenter_snmp can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
