NAME
       fence_brocade - Fence agent for HP Brocade over telnet/ssh

DESCRIPTION
       fence_brocade is	an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with Brocade FC
       switches. It logs into a	Brocade	switch via telnet and disables a spec-
       ified  port.  Disabling the port	which a	machine	is connected to	effec-
       tively fences that machine. Lengthy telnet connections  to  the	switch
       should  be  avoided  while a GFS	cluster	is running because the connec-
       tion will block any necessary fencing actions. After  a fence operation
       has taken place the fenced machine can no longer	connect	to the Brocade
       FC switch.  When	the fenced machine is ready to be  brought  back  into
       the  GFS	cluster	(after reboot) the port	on the Brocade FC switch needs
       to be enabled. This can be done by running fence_brocade	and specifying
       the enable action

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