NAME¶

fence_dummy - Dummy fence agent

DESCRIPTION¶

fence_dummy is a fake fence agent for testing. It supports three modes: 'file' (status in file), 'fail' (simulated failures), and 'recorder' (request/response coordination with external systems).

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

PARAMETERS¶

-o, --action=[action]

Fencing action (Default Value: reboot)

--log-path=[path]

Log directory path for fence events (Default Value: /var/log/cluster)

-n, --plug=[id]

Physical plug number on device, UUID or identification of machine

--random_sleep_range=[seconds]

Issue a sleep between 1 and X seconds. Used for testing.

--recorder-poll-interval=[sec]

Poll interval for recorder mode (Default Value: 0.5)

--recorder-timeout=[seconds]

Response timeout for recorder mode (Default Value: 60)

--request-path=[path]

Request directory path for recorder mode (Default Value: /run/fence-agents/fence_dummy/requests)

--response-path=[path]

Response directory path for recorder mode (Default Value: /run/fence-agents/fence_dummy/responses)

--status-file=[file]

File with status (Default Value: /tmp/fence_dummy.status)

--type=[type]

Type of the dummy fence agent (Default Value: file)

-q, --quiet

Disable logging to stderr. Does not affect --verbose or --debug-file or logging to syslog.

-v, --verbose

Verbose mode. Multiple -v flags can be stacked on the command line (e.g., -vvv) to increase verbosity.

--verbose-level

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).

-D, --debug-file=[debugfile]

Write debug information to given file

-V, --version

Display version information and exit

-h, --help

Display help and exit

--plug-separator=[char]

Separator for plug parameter when specifying more than 1 plug (Default Value: ,)

-C, --separator=[char]

Separator for CSV created by 'list' operation (Default Value: ,)

--delay=[seconds]

Wait X seconds before fencing is started (Default Value: 0)

--disable-timeout=[true/false]

Disable timeout (true/false) (default: true when run from Pacemaker 2.0+)

--login-timeout=[seconds]

Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after login (Default Value: 5)

--power-timeout=[seconds]

Test X seconds for status change after ON/OFF (Default Value: 20)

--power-wait=[seconds]

Wait X seconds after issuing ON/OFF (Default Value: 0)

--shell-timeout=[seconds]

Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after issuing command (Default Value: 3)

--stonith-status-sleep=[seconds]

Sleep X seconds between status calls during a STONITH action (Default Value: 1)

--retry-on=[attempts]

Count of attempts to retry power on (Default Value: 1)
