NAME

       fence_sbd - Fence agent for sbd

DESCRIPTION

       fence_sbd is I/O Fencing agent which can be used in environments where sbd can be used (shared storage).

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