5. Configuring Fence Devices

Configuring fence devices consists of creating, modifying, and deleting fence devices. Creating
a fence device consists of selecting a fence device type and entering parameters for that fence
device (for example, name, IP address, login, and password). Modifying a fence device consists
of selecting an existing fence device and changing parameters for that fence device. Deleting a
fence device consists of selecting an existing fence device and deleting it.
