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-man-
       agement#/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]

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

       -v, --verbose

	      maker 2.0+)

       --login-timeout=[seconds]
