fence_xenapi - Fence agent for Citrix XenServer over XenAPI
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.
