DESCRIPTION

fence_netio is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the Koukaam NETIO-230B Power Distribution Unit. It logs into device via telnet and reboots a specified outlet. Lengthy telnet connections should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

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