Comment 2 Jaroslav Kortus 2010-03-16 17:50:37 UTC
fence_apc_snmp does not have manpage, especially -n switch:plug was confusing to me (and had to read sources to get to that notation).

fence_apc has -n plug and -s switch.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Kortus 2010-03-17 13:20:05 UTC
fence_lpar shall probably have the -x option marked as compatibility only, as SSH usage is hardcoded and cannot be disabled. It also says directly in the manpage "It logs into the HMC via ssh..." so that option has no meaning anyway.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Kortus 2010-03-30 10:41:37 UTC
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545682 another one, -G option added and not documented. This has been z-streamed (bug 562263).

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-11 20:24:30 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-11 22:20:44 UTC
This request was erroneously denied for the current release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.  The error has been fixed and this
request has been re-proposed for the current release.

Manual pages are generated automatically from fence agents features.
