NAME

fence_zvmip - Fence agent for use with z/VM Virtual Machines

DESCRIPTION

fence_zvmip is a Power Fencing agent for z/VM SMAPI service via TCP/IP.

The z/VM SMAPI service must be configured so that the virtual machine running the agent can connect to the service, access the system’s directory manager, and shortly thereafter run image_deactivate and image_activate. This involves updating the VSMWORK1 NAMELIST and VSMWORK1 AUTHLIST VMSYS:VSMWORK1 files.

The NAMELIST entry assigns all the required functions to one nick and should look similar to this:

:nick.ZVM_FENCE
:list.
IMAGE_ACTIVATE
IMAGE_DEACTIVATE
IMAGE_STATUS_QUERY
CHECK_AUTHENTICATION
IMAGE_NAME_QUERY_DM

The AUTHLIST entry authorizes the user to perform all the functions associated with the nick, and should look similar to this:

Column 1 Column 66 Column 131

| | |
V V V

XXXXXXXX ALL ZVM_FENCE

where XXXXXXXX is the name of the user in the authuser field of the request.

Refer to the official z/VM documentation for complete instructions and reference materials.

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

PARAMETERS

-o, --action=[action]

Fencing action (Default Value: reboot)

-4, --inet4-only

Forces agent to use IPv4 addresses only

-6, --inet6-only

Forces agent to use IPv6 addresses only

-a, --ip=[ip]

IP address or hostname of fencing device This parameter is always required.

-u, --ipport=[port]

TCP/UDP port to use for connection with device (Default Value: 44444)

-m, --method=[method]

Method to fence (onoff|cycle) (Default Value: onoff)

-p, --password=[password]

-S, --password-script=[script]

Script to run to retrieve password

-n, --plug=[id]

Physical plug number on device, UUID or identification of machine This parameter is always required.

-z, --ssl

Use SSL connection with verifying certificate (Default) (Default Value: 1)

--ssl-insecure

Use SSL connection without verifying certificate

--ssl-secure

Use SSL connection with verifying certificate

-l, --username=[name]

--disable-ssl

Don’t use SSL

-q, --quiet

Disable logging to stderr. Does not affect --verbose or --debug-file or logging to syslog.

-v, --verbose

Verbose mode. Multiple -v flags can be stacked on the command line (e.g., -vvv) to increase verbosity.

--verbose-level

Level of debugging detail in output. Defaults to the number of --verbose flags 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 given file

-V, --version

--plug-separator=[char]

Separator for plug parameter when specifying more than 1 plug (Default Value: ,)

-C, --separator=[char]

Separator for CSV created by ’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 cmd prompt after login (Default Value: 5)

--missing-as-off

Missing port returns OFF instead of failure (Default Value: 1)

--power-timeout=[seconds]

Test X seconds for 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 cmd prompt after issuing command (Default Value: 5)

--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)

--gnutlscli-path=[path]

Path to gnutls-cli binary (Default Value: /usr/bin/gnutls-cli)
