NAME

7       fence_ibmblade - Fence agent for IBM BladeCenter over SNMP
8

DESCRIPTION

10       fence_ibmblade  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent  which can be used with IBM
11       BladeCenter chassis. It issues SNMP Set request to BladeCenter chassis,
12       rebooting, powering up or down the specified Blade Server.
13
14       fence_ibmblade  accepts  options  on  the  command line as well as from
15       stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs  the  agent.
16       fence_ibmblade can be run by itself with command line options.  This is
17       useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
