NAME

7       fence_hpblade - Fence agent for HP BladeSystem
8

DESCRIPTION

10       fence_hpblade  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent  which  can  be used with HP
11       BladeSystem and HP Integrity Superdome X.  It  logs  into  the  onboard
12       administrator  of  an  enclosure via telnet or ssh and uses the command
13       line interface to power blades or partitions on or off.
14
15       fence_hpblade accepts options on the  command  line  as  well  as  from
16       stdin.  Fenced  sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
17       fence_hpblade can be run by itself with command line options.  This  is
18       useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
