2.2. Listing Fence Devices and Fence Device Options

You can use the ccs command to print a list of available fence devices and to print a list of options for each available fence type. You can also use the ccs command to print a list of fence devices currently configured for your cluster.
To print a list of fence devices currently available for your cluster, execute the following command: 
ccs -h host --lsfenceopts
