NAME
     fence_vmware_rest - Fence agent for VMware REST API

DESCRIPTION
     fence_vmware_rest is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with VMware API
     to fence virtual machines.

     NOTE:  If	there's  more  than 1000 VMs there is a filter parameter to work
     around the API limit.  See  https://code.vmware.com/apis/62/vcenter-manage-
     ment#/VM%20/get_vcenter_vm for full list of filters.

     fence_vmware_rest	accepts  options  on  the  command  line as well as from
     stdin. Fenced sends parameters through  stdin  when  it  execs  the  agent.
     fence_vmware_rest	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.vmware.com

PARAMETERS

     -o, --action=[action]
	    Fencing action (Default Value: reboot)

     -a, --ip=[ip]
	    IP address or hostname of fencing device This  parameter  is  always
	    required.

     -u, --ipport=[port]
	    TCP/UDP  port  to use for connection with device (Default Value: 80)

     -t, --notls
	    Disable TLS negotiation and force SSL3.0. This should only	be  used
	    for devices that do not support TLS1.0 and up.

     -p, --password=[password]
	    Login password or passphrase

     -S, --password-script=[script]
	    Script to run to retrieve password

     -n, --plug=[id]
	    Physical  plug  number  on device, UUID or identification of machine
	    This parameter is always required.

     -z, --ssl
	    Use SSL connection with verifying certificate

     --filter=[filter]
	    Filter to only return relevant VMs. It can	be  used  to  avoid  the

	    Disable logging to stderr. Does not affect --verbose or --debug-file
	    or logging to syslog.

     -v, --verbose
	    Verbose  mode.  Multiple -v flags can be stacked on the command line
	    (e.g., -vvv) to increase verbosity.

     --verbose-level
	    Level of debugging detail in  output.  Defaults  to  the  number  of
	    --verbose  flags specified on the command line, or to 1 if verbose=1
	    in a stonith device configuration (i.e., on stdin).

     -D, --debug-file=[debugfile]
	    Write debug information to given file

     -V, --version
	    Display version information and exit

     -h, --help
	    Display help and exit

	    Separator for plug parameter when specifying more than 1  plug  (De-
	    fault Value: ,)

     -C, --separator=[char]
	    Separator  for  CSV  created  by 'list' operation (Default Value: ,)

     --delay=[seconds]
	    Wait X seconds before fencing is started (Default Value: 0)

     --disable-timeout=[true/false]

     --power-timeout=[seconds]
	    Test  X  seconds  for status change after ON/OFF (Default Value: 20)

     --power-wait=[seconds]
	    Wait X seconds after issuing ON/OFF (Default Value: 1)

     --shell-timeout=[seconds]
	    Wait X seconds for cmd prompt after issuing command (Default  Value:
	    5)

     --stonith-status-sleep=[seconds]
	    Sleep  X  seconds  between status calls during a STONITH action (De-
	    fault Value: 1)

     --retry-on=[attempts]
	    Count of attempts to retry power on (Default Value: 1)

     --gnutlscli-path=[path]
	    Path to gnutls-cli binary (Default Value: /usr/bin/gnutls-cli)
