NAME

       fence_rsa - Fence agent for IBM RSA

DESCRIPTION

       fence_rsa  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent  which  can  be used with the IBM RSA II management
       interface. It logs into an RSA II device via telnet and reboots  the  associated  machine.
       Lengthy  telnet  connections to the RSA II device should be avoided while a GFS cluster is
       running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

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