NAME
fence_vmware_soap - Fence agent for VMWare over SOAP API
DESCRIPTION
fence_vmware_soap is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the virtual machines
managed by VMWare products that have SOAP API v4.1+.
Name of virtual machine (-n / port) has to be used in inventory path format (e.g.
/datacenter/vm/Discovered virtual machine/myMachine). In the cases when name of yours VM
is unique you can use it instead. Alternatively you can always use UUID to access virtual
machine.
fence_vmware_soap accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends
parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_vmware_soap can be run by itself
with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off
from scripts.

PARAMETERS
-o, --action=[action]
Fencing action (Default Value: reboot)
-a, --ip=[ip]
IP address or hostname of fencing device This parameter is always required.
-u, --ipport=[port]
TCP/UDP port to use for connection with device (Default Value: 80)
-t, --notls
Disable TLS negotiation and force SSL3.0. This should only be used for devices that
do not support TLS1.0 and up.
-p, --password=[password]
Login password or passphrase
-S, --password-script=[script]
Script to run to retrieve password
-n, --plug=[id]
Physical plug number on device, UUID or identification of machine This parameter is
always required.
-z, --ssl
Use SSL connection with verifying certificate
--ssl-insecure
Use SSL connection without verifying certificate
--ssl-secure
Use SSL connection with verifying certificate
-l, --username=[name]
Login name This parameter is always required.
-q, --quiet
Disable logging to stderr. Does not affect --verbose or --debug-file or logging to
syslog.
-v, --verbose
Verbose mode. Multiple -v flags can be stacked on the command line (e.g., -vvv) to
increase verbosity.
--verbose-level
Level of debugging detail in output. Defaults to the number of --verbose flags
specified on the command line, or to 1 if verbose=1 in a stonith device
configuration (i.e., on stdin).
-D, --debug-file=[debugfile]
Write debug information to given file
-V, --version
Display version information and exit
-h, --help
Display help and exit

--delay=[seconds]
Wait X seconds before fencing is started (Default Value: 0)
--disable-timeout=[true/false]
Disable timeout (true/false) (default: true when run from Pacemaker 2.0+)
--login-timeout=[seconds]
Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after login (Default Value: 5)
--power-timeout=[seconds]
Test X seconds for status change after ON/OFF (Default Value: 20)
--power-wait=[seconds]
Wait X seconds after issuing ON/OFF (Default Value: 0)
--shell-timeout=[seconds]
Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after issuing command (Default Value: 3)
--stonith-status-sleep=[seconds]
Sleep X seconds between status calls during a STONITH action (Default Value: 1)
