Fence Agents for Red Hat Cluster - kdump agent

Red Hat Fence Agents is a collection of scripts to handle remote power management for several devices. They allow failed or unreachable nodes to be forcibly restarted and removed from the cluster.

fence_kdump is an I/O fencing agent to be used with the kdump crash recovery service. When the fence_kdump agent is invoked, it will listen for a message from the failed node that acknowledges that the failed node it executing the kdump crash kernel. Note that fence_kdump is not a replacement for traditional fencing methods. The fence_kdump agent can only detect that a node has entered the kdump crash recovery service. This allows the kdump crash recovery service complete without being preempted by traditional power fencing methods.
