NAME

       fence_ibmz - Fence agent for IBM z LPARs

DESCRIPTION

       fence_ibmz is a power fencing agent which uses the HMC Web Services API to fence IBM z LPARs.

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