mxfencecfg – configure the fence agent
Synopsis
/opt/polyserve/bin/mxfencecfg
mxfencecfg -r|-s -v <vendor> [-b <blade number>]
-i <IP address of remote controller>
-u <username> -p <password>
Description
The mxfencecfg command is used in conjunction with mxsetfence to
configure flexible fencing without running mxconfig. The mxsetfence
command is run first, as described under “mxsetfence – configure fencing” on
page 34.
NOTE: The path shown in the synopsis is a symbolic link that is created when
mxsetfence is run. For FC fencing, the path goes to
/opt/polyserve/lib/fence/fcsan/mxfencecfg. For webmgmt fencing,
the path goes to /opt/polyserve/lib/fence/webmgmt/mxfencecfg.
If you are using the fcsan fence agent, run the mxfencecfg command with no
parameters, as no additional configuration is needed.
For the webmgt fence agent, specify the appropriate fence parameters:
-r
Set the fencing action to
RESET.
-s
Set the fencing action to
SHUTDOWN.
-v <vendor>
Specify the vendor for the remote controller (dell, hp, ibm, or ipmi).
-b <blade number>
For a blade server, specify the blade number.
-i <IP address of remote controller>
Specify the IP address of the remote controller.
-u <username>
Specify the username needed to access the remote controller.
