# fence\_egenera(8)

I/O Fencing agent for the Egenera BladeFrame

## NAME

fence\_egenera - I/O Fencing agent for the Egenera BladeFrame

## SYNOPSIS

**fence\_egenera** \[*OPTION*\]...

## DESCRIPTION

fence\_egenera is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the Egenera BladeFrame.  It logs into a control blade (cserver) via ssh and operates on a processing blade (pserver) identified by the pserver name and the  logical process area network (LPAN) that it is in.  fence\_egenera requires that ssh keys have been setup so that the fence\_egenera does not require a password to authenticate.  Refer to ssh(8) for more information on setting up ssh keys.

fence\_egenera accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.   Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.  fence\_egenera  can also be run by itself with command line options.
