FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8)

NAME

fence_ldom - Fence agent for Sun LDOM

DESCRIPTION

fence_ldom is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with LDoms virtual machines. This agent works so, that run ldm command on host machine. So ldm must be directly runnable.

Very useful parameter is -c (or cmd_prompt in stdin mode). This must be set to something, what is displayed after successful login to host machine. Default string is space on end of string (default for root in bash). But (for example) csh use ], so in that case you must use parameter -c with argument ]. Very similar situation is, if you use bash and login to host machine with other user than root. Than prompt is $, so again, you must use parameter -c.

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

PARAMETERS

Fencing action (Default Value: reboot)
Force Python regex for command prompt (Default Value: ['\ $'])
Identity file (private key) for SSH
-4, --inet4-only
Forces agent to use IPv4 addresses only
-6, --inet6-only
Forces agent to use IPv6 addresses only
IP address or hostname of fencing device This parameter is always required.

Script to run to retrieve password
Physical plug number on device, UUID or identification of machine This parameter is always required.
Use SSH connection (Default Value: 1)
SSH options to use
Login name This parameter is always required.
Disable logging to stderr. Does not affect --verbose or --debug-file or logging to syslog.
Verbose mode. Multiple -v flags can be stacked on the command line (e.g., -vvv) to increase verbosity.
Level of debugging detail in output. Defaults to the number of --verbose flags specified on the command line, or to 1 if verbose=1 in a stonith device configuration (i.e., on stdin).

Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after login (Default Value: 5)
Test X seconds for status change after ON/OFF (Default Value: 20)
Wait X seconds after issuing ON/OFF (Default Value: 0)
Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after issuing command (Default Value: 3)
Sleep X seconds between status calls during a STONITH action (Default Value: 1)
Count of attempts to retry power on (Default Value: 1)
Path to ssh binary (Default Value: /usr/bin/ssh)

ACTIONS

Power on machine.
Power off machine.
Reboot machine.
This returns the status of the plug/virtual machine.
List available plugs with aliases/virtual machines if there is support for more then one device. Returns N/A otherwise.
List available plugs with aliases/virtual machines and their power state if it can be obtained without additional commands.
Check the health of fence device
Display the XML metadata describing this resource.

The operational behavior of this is not known.
Validate if all required parameters are entered.
