Fence Device Parameters

This appendix provides tables with parameter descriptions of fence devices.

Note

Certain fence devices have an optional Password Script parameter. T he Password

Scriptparameter allows specifying that a fence-device password is supplied from a script rather

than from the Password parameter. Using the Password Script parameter supersedes the

Password parameter, allowing passwords to not be visible in the cluster configuration file

(/etc/cluster/cluster.conf).
