NAME

       fence_vmware_soap - Fence agent for VMWare over SOAP API

DESCRIPTION

       fence_vmware_soap  is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent which can be used with the virtual machines
       managed by VMWare products that have SOAP API v4.1+.

       Name of virtual machine (-n / port)  has  to  be  used  in  inventory  path  format  (e.g.
       /datacenter/vm/Discovered  virtual  machine/myMachine). In the cases when name of yours VM
       is unique you can use it instead. Alternatively you can always use UUID to access  virtual
       machine.

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