NAME
       fence_virsh - Fence agent for virsh

DESCRIPTION
       fence_virsh  is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the virtual
       machines	managed	by libvirt. It logs via	ssh to a dom0  and  there  run
       virsh command, which does all work.

       By  default,  virsh needs root account to do properly work. So you must
       allow ssh login in your sshd_config.

       fence_virsh accepts options on the command line as well as from	stdin.
       Fenced  sends  parameters  through  stdin  when	it  execs  the	agent.
       fence_virsh 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: http://libvirt.org
