NAME

fence_apc - I/O Fencing agent for APC MasterSwitch

SYNOPSIS

fence_apc [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

fence_apc is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the APC MasterSwitch network power switch. It logs into a MasterSwitch via telnet and reboots a specified outlet. Lengthy telnet connections to the MasterSwitch 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 useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.

IP address or hostname of the switch.

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