STOMITH) provides an extensible interface forremotely powering down a node in the cluster.(STONITH = Shoot The Other Node In The Head).The idea is quite simple:When the software running on one machine wants to make sure another machinein the cluster is not using a resource, pull the plug on the other machine.It's simple and reliable, albiet admittedly brutal..SH OPTIONS.TP.B \-F options-file:Path to file specifying option s for a device. To determine the syntax ofthe options-file for a given device run:.nf\fBstonith\fP -t <devicetype> <dummy-nodename>e.g.\fBstonith\fP -t rps10 test.fi.TP.B \-h:Display command line This provides a detailed list of the device types, descriptions of themand how to configure them, and other related information.If you don't yet own as STONITH device and want to know whatmore about the ones we support, this information is likely to behelpful..TP.B \-L:List the valid devicetypes, suitable for passing as an argument to the-t option..TP.B \-l:List the configured nodes..TP.B \-t devicetype:The type of device to be used to effect STONITH.A list of supported devices for an instalation of stonith may be obtainedusing the -L option..TP.B \-p stonith-parameters:Parameters to pass directly to stonith device. These are the same format asa line in the options-file for a divice. See notes on determining thesyntax for the options-file for a divice above..TP.B \-S:Show the status of the STONITH device..TP.B \-s:Silent operation. Suppress logging of error messages to standard error..TP.B \-v:Ignored..SH "SEE ALSO".PPheartbeat (8)meatclient (8).SH AUTHORS.nfstonith - Alan Robertson <alanr@unix.sh> et al.man page - Horms <horms@verge.net.au>.fi
