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

NAME

fence_openstack - Fence agent for OpenStack's Nova service

DESCRIPTION

fence_openstack is a Fencing agent which can be used with machines controlled by the Openstack's Nova service. This agent calls the python-novaclient and it is mandatory to be installed

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