NAME
     fence_xenapi - Fence agent for Citrix XenServer over XenAPI

DESCRIPTION
     fence_cxs	is  an I/O Fencing agent used on Citrix XenServer hosts. It uses
     the XenAPI, supplied by Citrix,  to  establish  an  XML-RPC  session  to  a
     XenServer	host.  Once the session is established, further XML-RPC commands
     are issued in order to switch on, switch off, restart and query the  status
     of virtual machines running on the host.

     fence_xenapi  accepts  options  on  the command line as well as from stdin.
     Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_xenapi
     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://www.xenproject.org
