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

NAME

fence_ironic - Fence agent for OpenStack's Ironic (Bare Metal as a service)

DESCRIPTION

fence_ironic is a Fencing agent which can be used with machines controlled by the Ironic service. This agent calls the openstack CLI. WARNING! This fence agent is not intended for production use. Relying on a functional ironic service for fencing is not a good design choice.

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