NAME

       fence_drac - I/O Fencing agent for Dell DRAC IV

DESCRIPTION

       fence_drac  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent which can be used with the Dell Remote Access Card
       (DRAC). This card provides remote access to controlling power to a server.  It  logs  into
       the DRAC through the telnet interface of the card. By default, the telnet interface is not
       enabled. To enable the interface, you will need to use the racadm command in  the  racser-
       devel  rpm  available  from  Dell.  To enable telnet on the DRAC: [root]# racadm config -g
       cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1 [root]# racadm racreset

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