4.16. HP iLO over SSH

The fence agents for HP iLO devices over SSH (fence_ilo_ssh), HP iLO3 devices over SSH (fence_ilo3_ssh), and HP iLO4 devices over SSH (fence_ilo4_ssh) share the same implementation. Table 4.17, “HP iLO over SSH, HP iLO3 over SSH, HPiLO4 over SSH (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 and later)” lists the fence device parameters used by these agents.
