fence_ibm_powervs - Man Page
Fence agent for IBM PowerVS
Description
fence_ibm_powervs is a Power Fencing agent which can be used with IBM PowerVS to fence virtual machines.
The fence agent accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. The agent can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
