NAME

       fence_ibm_powervs - Fence agent for IBM PowerVS

DESCRIPTION

       fence_ibm_powervs  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent which can be used with IBM PowerVS to fence
       virtual machines.

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