SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       When  fenced(8)  fails  to  fence  a  node,  it  retries  indefinately.
15       fence_ack_manual(8) tells fenced to stop retrying and consider the node
16       fenced.

19       It is important that this only be done after the node has been manually
20       turned off or prevented from writing to shared storage.   Without  this
21       manual  action  and verification, the storage that fencing protects may
22       become corrupted.

25       When fenced fences a node that has no  fence  devices  defined  in  the
26       cluster  configuration, the fencing operation fails.  This failure will
27       be repeated indefinately until fence_ack_manual is run by  an  operator
28       to indicate the node is in a safe state to proceed.  (Defining no fenc‐
29       ing devices for node is the equivalent of using the fence_manual  agent
30       in previous versions.)
