Appendix B. Fence Device Parameters
Appendix B. Fence Device Parameters This appendix provides tables with parameter descriptions of fence devices. Note Certain fence devices have an optional Password Script parameter. The Password Script parameter allows specifying that a fence-device password is supplied from a script rather than from the Password parameter.
