The following command creates a fence device instance for a Dell Drac 5 device:
ccs -f cluster.conf --addfencedev delldrac5test1 agent=fence_drac5 ipaddr=192.168.0.1 login=root passwd=password123\
 module_name=drac1 power_wait=60
The following is the cluster.conf entry for the fence_drac5 device:

 <fencedevices>
   <fencedevice agent="fence_drac5" cmd_prompt="\$" ipaddr="192.168.0.1" login="root" module_name="drac1" \
     name="delldrac5test1" passwd="password123" power_wait="60"/>
