DESCRIPTION

       fence_ipmilan  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agentwhich  can  be  used with machines controlled by
       IPMI.This agent calls support software ipmitool (http://ipmitool.sf.net/).  WARNING!  This
       fence  agent might report success before the node is powered off. You should use -m/method
       onoff if your fence device works correctly with that option.

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