Appendix B. Fence Device Parameters
This appendix provides tables with parameter descriptions of fence devices.
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. Using the Password Script parameter supersedes the Password parameter, allowing passwords to not be visible in the cluster configuration file (/etc/cluster/cluster.conf).
