NAME¶

fence_ibm_vpc - Fence agent for IBM Cloud VPC

DESCRIPTION¶

fence_ibm_vpc is a Power Fencing agent which can be used with IBM Cloud VPC to fence virtual machines.

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¶

--apikey=[key]

API Key This parameter is always required.

--limit=[number]

Number of nodes returned by API (Default Value: 50)

--proxy=[http://<URL>:<PORT>]

Network proxy (Default Value: )

--region=[region]

--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: 30)

--power-wait=[seconds]

Wait X seconds after issuing ON/OFF (Default Value: 1)

--shell-timeout=[seconds]

--retry-on=[attempts]

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