NAME
       fence_vmware_soap - Fence agent for VMWare over SOAP API

DESCRIPTION
       fence_vmware_soap  is  an  I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the
       virtual machines managed by VMWare products that have SOAP API v4.1+.

       Name of virtual machine (-n / port) has to be used  in  inventory  path
       format  (e.g.  /datacenter/vm/Discovered virtual machine/myMachine). In
       the cases when name of yours VM is  unique  you	can  use  it  instead.
       Alternatively you can always use UUID to access virtual machine.

       fence_vmware_soap  accepts  options on the command line as well as from
       stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs  the	agent.
       fence_vmware_soap can be run by itself with command line options.  This
       is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
