NAME

7       fence_drac - fencing agent for Dell Remote Access Card
8

DESCRIPTION

10       fence_drac  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent which can be used with the Dell
11       Remote Access Card (DRAC). This card provides remote access to control‐
12       ling power to a server. It logs into the DRAC through the telnet inter‐
13       face of the card. By default, the telnet interface is not  enabled.  To
14       enable  the  interface,  you will need to use the racadm command in the
15       racser-devel rpm available from Dell.  To enable telnet on the DRAC:
16
17       [root]# racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1
18
19       [root]# racadm racreset

21
22       fence_drac accepts options on the command line as well as  from  stdin.
23       Fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when  it  execs  the  agent.
24       fence_drac can be run by itself with command  line  options.   This  is
25       useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
