[Linux-cluster] [Q] Good documentation about command line interface??

[Hiroyuki Sato]

Hello Digimer.

Thank you for your advice.
It is very very useful information for me.

Maybe ok. I'll test it.

> b) Can you check that the node is successfully off using wol?

I'm not sure, I'll test it.

Could you tell me one more thing.

Where fenced will call fence agent??
It is mean that  the following

 * Can I check where fenced daemon will call fence_agent when I
execute fence_node??
   (that message send to master fenced, or localhost??)
 * And Can I check ``where are master''  with command?? (If fenced is
master-slave type)
 * Can I control master priority.
   (for example I want to specify gfs1, gfs2, gfs3 as fenced master)

Thanks again

Regards.
