NAME

7       fence_wti - Fence agent for WTI
8

DESCRIPTION

10       fence_wti  is  an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the WTI Net‐
11       work Power Switch (NPS). It logs into an NPS  via  telnet  or  ssh  and
12       boots a specified plug. Lengthy telnet connections to the NPS should be
13       avoided while a GFS cluster is  running  because  the  connection  will
14       block any necessary fencing actions.
15
16       fence_wti  accepts  options  on the command line as well as from stdin.
17       Fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when  it  execs  the  agent.
18       fence_wti can be run by itself with command line options.  This is use‐
19       ful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
