The following command creates a fence device instance for a Cisco UCS device:
ccs -f cluster.conf --addfencedev ucs agent=fence_cisco_ucs ipaddr=192.168.0.1 login=root passwd=password123 \ suborg=/org-RHEL/org-Fence/
The following is an example
cluster.conf entry for the fence_cisco_ucs device as created using either Conga or ccs:
<fencedevices>
<fencedevice agent="fence_cisco_ucs" ipaddr="192.168.0.1" login="root" name="ciscoucstest1" \
passwd="password123" power_wait="60" ssl="on" suborg="/org-RHEL/org-Fence/"/>
</fencedevices>
