FENCE_AGENT(8)

💖 FENCE_AGENT(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the fence_intelmodular page — it lives in section 8 of the System Manager's Manual, and I'm gonna walk you through every single crumb of it. no skimming, no skipping, we're doing the whole thing. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fence_intelmodular — the fence agent for Intel Modular. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she knows it. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

fence_intelmodular is a Power Fencing agent that you use with Intel Modular devices. she was tested on the Intel MFSYS25, and lowkey she should work with the MFSYS35 too. 🫶

okay so important lore alert 🚨 — ever since firmware update version 2.7, SNMP v2 write support is REMOVED, replaced by SNMP v3 support. so this agent now defaults to SNMP version 3. if you're out here running older firmware, please supply -d on the command line and the snmp_version option in your cluster.conf. don't forget, i'm begging. 😭

the fence agent takes options from the command line and from stdin, because she's flexible like that. fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. but you can also just run the agent by itself with command line options — super useful for testing, and for turning outlets on or off from scripts. main character energy honestly. 👑

✨ PARAMETERS ✨

• -o, --action=[action] — the fencing action. (Default Value: reboot)
• -c, --community=[community] — set the community string.
• -a, --ip=[ip] — IP address or hostname of the fencing device. This parameter is always required. no ip, no vibes, no service. 🙈
• -u, --ipport=[port] — TCP/UDP port to use for connection with the device. (Default Value: 161)
• -p, --password=[password] — login password or passphrase.
• -S, --password-script=[script] — script to run to retrieve the password.
• -n, --plug=[id] — physical plug number on the device, UUID, or identification of the machine. This parameter is always required.
• -b, --snmp-auth-prot=[prot] — set the authentication protocol (MD5|SHA).
• -P, --snmp-priv-passwd=[pass] — set the privacy protocol password.
• -R, --snmp-priv-passwd-script — script to run to retrieve the privacy password.
• -B, --snmp-priv-prot=[prot] — set the privacy protocol (DES|AES).
• -E, --snmp-sec-level=[level] — set the security level (noAuthNoPriv|authNoPriv|authPriv).
• -d, --snmp-version=[version] — specifies which SNMP version to use (1|2c|3).
• -l, --username=[name] — login name.
• -q, --quiet — disable logging to stderr. does not affect --verbose, --debug-file, or logging to syslog. she's selective. 💅
• -v, --verbose — verbose mode. you can stack multiple -v flags on the command line (like -vvv) to crank up the verbosity. more v's, more tea. ☕
• --verbose-level — level of debugging detail in the output. defaults to the number of --verbose flags you specified on the command line, or to 1 if verbose=1 in a stonith device configuration (i.e., on stdin).
• -D, --debug-file=[debugfile] — write debug information to the given file.
• -V, --version — display version information and exit.
• -h, --help — display help and exit.
• --plug-separator=[char] — separator for the plug parameter when you're specifying more than 1 plug. (Default Value: ,)
• -C, --separator=[char] — separator for the CSV created by the list operation. (Default Value: ,)
• --delay=[seconds] — wait X seconds before fencing is started. (Default Value: 0)
• --disable-timeout=[true/false] — disable timeout (true/false). (default: true when run from Pacemaker 2.0+)
• --login-timeout=[seconds] — wait X seconds for the cmd prompt after login. (Default Value: 5)
• --power-timeout=[seconds] — test X seconds for a status change after ON/OFF. (Default Value: 20)
• --power-wait=[seconds] — wait X seconds after issuing ON/OFF. (Default Value: 0)
• --shell-timeout=[seconds] — wait X seconds for the cmd prompt after issuing a command. (Default Value: 3)
• --stonith-status-sleep=[seconds] — sleep X seconds between status calls during a STONITH action. (Default Value: 1)
• --retry-on=[attempts] — count of attempts to retry power on. (Default Value: 1)
• --snmpget-path=[path] — path to the snmpget binary. (Default Value: /usr/bin/snmpget)
• --snmpset-path=[path] — path to the snmpset binary. (Default Value: /usr/bin/snmpset)
• --snmpwalk-path=[path] — path to the snmpwalk binary. (Default Value: /usr/bin/snmpwalk)

🎀 ACTIONS 🎀

• on — power on the machine. ⚡
• off — power off the machine. 💀
• reboot — reboot the machine. 🔄
• status — returns the status of the plug/virtual machine.
• list — list available plugs with aliases/virtual machines, if there's support for more than one device. returns N/A otherwise. no support, no list, sorry bestie. 🤷
• list-status — list available plugs with aliases/virtual machines and their power state, if it can be obtained without additional commands.
• monitor — check the health of the fence device. 🩺
• metadata — display the XML metadata describing this resource.
• manpage — the operational behavior of this is not known. (iconic honestly, we love an honest queen.)
• validate-all — validate if all required parameters are entered.
