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.
