NAME
fence_vbox - Fence agent for VirtualBox
DESCRIPTION
fence_vbox is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the virtual machines managed by
VirtualBox. It logs via ssh to a dom0 where it runs VBoxManage to do all of the work.
By default, vbox needs to log in as a user that is a member of the vboxusers group. Also,
you must allow ssh login in your sshd_config.
fence_vbox accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends
parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_vbox can be run by itself with
command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from
scripts.

Forces agent to use IPv4 addresses only
-6, --inet6-only
Forces agent to use IPv6 addresses only
-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: 22)
-p, --password=[password]
