.TH FENCE_AGENT 8 2010-01-05 "fence_virtd (Fence Agent)"
.SH NAME
fence_virtd - Fencing host for virtual machines
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
fence_virtd is a host daemon designed to route fencing requests for
virtual machines.
Fence_virt and fence_xvm talk to fence_virtd, which supports multiple backend plugins, including:
- libvirt for single-node operation
- Corosync CPG and libvirt when using Linux-cluster release 3.0.0 or later
- libvirt-qpid for multi-node, non-cluster operation
For compatibility, fence_xvm from linux-cluster release 2 may talk to fence_virtd.
.P
fence_virtd accepts a few options on the command line, but most options
are read from fence_virt.conf.
