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