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.

       Vendor URL: https://www.virtualbox.org/
