FENCE_AGENT(8)FENCE_AGENT(8)NAMEfence_cisco_mds - Fence agent for Cisco MDS
DESCRIPTIONfence_cisco_mds is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with any
Cisco MDS 9000 series with SNMP enabled device.
fence_cisco_mds accepts options on the command line as well as from
stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_cisco_mds can be run by itself with command line options. This
is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
