DESCRIPTION

15       fence_sanbox2  is  an  I/O  Fencing agent which can be used with QLogic
16       SANBox2 FC switches.  It logs into a SANBox2 switch via telnet and dis‐
17       ables  a  specified  port.   Disabling the port which a machine is con‐
18       nected to effectively fences that machine.  Lengthy telnet  connections
19       to  the switch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because
20       the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.
21
22       fence_sanbox2 accepts options on the  command  line  as  well  as  from
23       stdin.   fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
24       fence_sanbox2 can be run by itself with command line options  which  is
25       useful for testing.
26
27       After  a  fence  operation  has  taken  place the fenced machine can no
28       longer connect to the switch.  When the fenced machine is ready  to  be
29       brought  back  into  the  GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the FC
30       switch needs to be enabled. This can be done by  running  fence_sanbox2
31       and specifying the enable action.
