NAME
       fence_drac - fencing agent for Dell Remote Access Card

DESCRIPTION
       fence_drac  is  an  I/O	Fencing	 agent which can be used with the Dell
       Remote Access Card (DRAC). This card provides remote access to control‐
       ling power to a server. It logs into the DRAC through the telnet inter‐
       face of the card. By default, the telnet interface is not  enabled.  To
       enable  the  interface,	you will need to use the racadm command in the
       racser-devel rpm available from Dell.  To enable telnet on the DRAC:

       [root]# racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1

       [root]# racadm racreset

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