NAME

       fence_brocade - Fence agent for HP Brocade over telnet/ssh

DESCRIPTION

       fence_brocade  is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with Brocade FC switches. It logs
       into a Brocade switch via telnet and disables a specified port. Disabling the port which a
       machine is connected to effectively fences that machine. Lengthy telnet connections to the
       switch should be avoided  while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block
       any necessary fencing actions. After  a fence operation has taken place the fenced machine
       can no longer connect to the Brocade FC switch.  When the fenced machine is  ready  to  be
       brought  back  into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the Brocade FC switch needs
       to be enabled. This can be done by running fence_brocade and specifying the enable action

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