DESCRIPTION

14       fence_xcat  is  a  wrapper to the rpower(1) command that is distributed
15       with  the  xCAT  project  available  at  http://www.xcat.org.   Use  of
16       fence_xcat  requires that xcat has already been properly configured for
17       your environment.  Refer to xCAT(1) for more information on configuring
18       xCAT.
19
20       fence_xcat  accepts  options on the command line as well as from stdin.
21       fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when  it  execs  the  agent.
22       fence_xcat can be run by itself with command line options which is use‐
23       ful for testing.
24
25       NOTE: It is recommended that fence_bladecenter(8) is  used  instead  of
26       fence_xcat if the bladecenter firmware supports telnet.  This interface
27       is much cleaner and easier to setup.
