NAME

       fence_virt - Fence agent for virtual machines

DESCRIPTION

       fence_virt is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with virtual machines.

       NOTE: reboot-action does not power on nodes that are powered off.

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