NAME

       fence_xcat - I/O Fencing agent for xcat environments

SYNOPSIS

       fence_xcat [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_xcat  is  a wrapper to the rpower(1) command that is distributed with the xCAT project available at
       http://www.xcat.org.  Use of fence_xcat requires that xcat has already been properly configured for  your
       environment.  Refer to xCAT(1) for more information on configuring xCAT.

       fence_xcat  accepts  options  on the command line as well as from stdin.  fenced sends parameters through
       stdin when it execs the agent.  fence_xcat can be run by itself with command line options which is useful
       for testing.

       NOTE: It is recommended that fence_bladecenter(8) is  used  instead  of  fence_xcat  if  the  bladecenter
       firmware supports telnet.  This interface is much cleaner and easier to setup.
