SYNOPSIS

11       fence_vixel [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

15       fence_vixel  is  an  I/O  Fencing agent which can be used with Vixel FC
16       switches.  It logs into a Vixel switch via telnet and removes the spec‐
17       ified  port from the zone.  Removing the zone access from the port dis‐
18       ables the port from being able to access the storage.
19
20       fence_vixel accepts options on the command line as well as from  stdin.
21       fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when  it  execs  the  agent.
22       fence_vixel can be run by itself with command  line  options  which  is
23       useful for testing.
24
25       After  a  fence  operation  has  taken  place the fenced machine can no
26       longer connect to the Vixel FC switch.   When  the  fenced  machine  is
27       ready  to  be brought back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port
28       on the Vixel FC switch needs to be enabled. In order to  do  this,  log
29       into the Vixel FC switch. Then go to:
30
31       config->zones->config   <port>   <comma-separated-list-of-ports-in-the-
32       zone>
33
34       Then apply
35
36       Consult the Vixel manual for details
