NAME
       fence_brocade - I/O Fencing agent for Brocade FC switches

SYNOPSIS
       fence_brocade [OPTION]...

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
       specified  port.	  Disabling  the  port which a machine is connected to
       effectively fences that machine.	 Lengthy  telnet  connections  to  the
       switch  should  be  avoided  while a GFS cluster is running because the
       connection will block any necessary fencing actions.

       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  which  is
       useful for testing.

       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  run‐
       ning fence_brocade and specifying the enable action.
