NAME¶
fence_mcdata - I/O Fencing agent for McData FC switchesSYNOPSIS¶
fence_mcdata [ OPTION]...DESCRIPTION¶
fence_mcdata is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with McData FC switches. It logs into a McData switch via telnet and disables a specified port. Disabling the port which a machine is connected to effectively fences that machine. Lengthy telnet connections to the switch should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.OPTIONS¶
