NAME

       fence_ipmilan - Fence agent for IPMI over LAN

DESCRIPTION

       fence_ipmilan  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent which can be used with machines controlled by IPMI. This agent
       calls support software using ipmitool (http://ipmitool.sf.net/).

       To use fence_ipmilan with HP iLO 3 you have to enable lanplus option (lanplus /  -P)  and  increase  wait
       after operation to 4 seconds (power_wait=4 / -T 4)

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