NAME

       fence_hpblade - Fence agent for HP BladeSystem

DESCRIPTION

       fence_hpblade is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with HP BladeSystem and HP Integrity Superdome X.
       It logs into the onboard administrator of an enclosure via telnet  or  ssh  and  uses  the  command  line
       interface to power blades or partitions on or off.

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