fence_rsb(8)

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

SYNOPSIS
fence_rsb [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
fence_rsb is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the Fujitsu-Siemens RSB management interface. It logs into an RSB device via telnet and reboots the associated machine. Lengthy telnet connections to the RSB device 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.

OPTIONS

-a IPaddress
    IP address or hostname of the RSB device.

-h  Print out a help message describing available options, then exit.

-l login
    Login name.

-n telnet_port
    The port number on which the telnet service listens.

-o action
    The action required. Reboot (default), Off, On, or Status.

-p password
    Password for login.

-S path
    Full path to an executable to generate the password for login.

-v  Verbose. Print informational messages to standard out.
