NAME
       fence_vixel - I/O Fencing agent for Vixel FC switches

SYNOPSIS
       fence_vixel [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       fence_vixel  is	an  I/O	 Fencing agent which can be used with Vixel FC
       switches.  It logs into a Vixel switch via telnet and removes the spec‐
       ified  port from the zone.  Removing the zone access from the port dis‐
       ables the port from being able to access the storage.

       fence_vixel accepts options on the command line as well as from	stdin.
       fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when	it  execs  the	agent.
       fence_vixel 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 Vixel FC switch.	When  the  fenced  machine  is
       ready  to  be brought back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port
       on the Vixel FC switch needs to be enabled. In order to	do  this,  log
       into the Vixel FC switch. Then go to:

       config->zones->config   <port>	<comma-separated-list-of-ports-in-the-
       zone>

       Then apply

       Consult the Vixel manual for details
