FENCE_AGENT(8)FENCE_AGENT(8)NAMEfence_apc - Fence agent for APC over telnet/ssh
DESCRIPTIONfence_apc is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the APC net‐
work power switch. 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_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.
