NAME

       fence_xenapi - Fence agent for Citrix XenServer over XenAPI

DESCRIPTION

       fence_cxs  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent used on Citrix XenServer hosts. It uses the XenAPI,
       supplied by Citrix, to establish an XML-RPC session to a XenServer host. Once the  session
       is  established,  further  XML-RPC  commands are issued in order to switch on, switch off,
       restart and query the status of virtual machines running on the host.

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

              Script to run to retrieve password

       -n, --plug=[id]

              always required.
