NAME¶
fence_ilo - Fence agent for HP iLO
DESCRIPTION¶
fence_ilo is an I/O Fencing agent used for HP servers with the Integrated Light
Out (iLO) PCI card.The agent opens an SSL connection to the iLO card. Once the
SSL connection is established, the agent is able to communicate with the iLO
card through an XML stream.
fence_ilo accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced
sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_ilo can be run
by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for
turning outlets on or off from scripts.
