NAME

       fence_pve - Fencing agent for the Proxmox Virtual Environment

DESCRIPTION

       The fence_pve agent can be used to fence virtual machines acting as nodes in a virtualized
       cluster.

       fence_pve accepts options on the  command  line  as  well  as  from  stdin.  Fenced  sends
       parameters  through  stdin  when  it  execs the agent. fence_pve can be run by itself with
       command line options.  This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or  off  from
       scripts.

              always required.

       --retry-on=[attempts]
              Count of attempts to retry power on (Default Value: 1)
