NAME

       fence_zvm - I/O Fencing agent for GFS on s390 and zSeries VM clusters

SYNOPSIS

       fence_zvm [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_zvm  is  an  I/O Fencing agent used on a GFS virtual machine in a s390 or zSeries VM
       cluster.  It uses the s3270 program to log the specified virtual machine out of  VM.   For
       fence_zvm to execute correctly, you must have s3270 in your PATH.

       fence_zvm accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.  fence_node sends the
       options through stdin when it execs the agent.   fence_zvm  can  be  run  by  itself  with
       command line options which is useful for testing.
