FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8)

NAME

fence_amt - Fence agent for AMT

DESCRIPTION

fence_amt is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with Intel AMT. This agent calls support software amttool(http://www.kraxel.org/cgit/amtterm/).

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

Vendor URL: http://www.intel.com/
