fence_rsb: I/O Fencing agent for Fujitsu-Siemens RSB

NAME

fence_rsb - I/O Fencing agent for Fujitsu-Siemens RSB

DESCRIPTION

fence_rsb is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the Fujitsu-Siemens RSB management interface. It logs into device via telnet/ssh and reboots a specified outlet. Lengthy telnet/ssh connections should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

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