FENCE_AGENT(8)
NAME
fence_ipmilan - Fence agent for IPMI over LAN
DESCRIPTION
fence_ipmilan is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with machines
controlled by IPMI. This agent calls support software using ipmitool
(http://ipmitool.sf.net/).
fence_ipmilan accepts options on the command line as well as from
stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_ipmilan can be run by itself with command line options. This is
useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
