NAME

       fence_ibmz - Fence agent for IBM z LPARs

DESCRIPTION

       fence_ibmz  is  a  power  fencing agent which uses the HMC Web Services API to fence IBM z
       LPARs.

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