NAME
       fence_brocade - Fence agent for Brocade over telnet

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 connection
       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 run‐
       ning 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.
