NAME
fence_virtd - Fencing host for virtual machines
DESCRIPTION
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.
fence_virtd accepts a few options on the command line, but most options are read from fence_virt.conf.
PARAMETERS

| -F | Do not fork into background after starting (overrides any setting in fence_virt.conf) | ||
| -w | Wait for backend to be available (overrides any setting in fence_virt.conf) | ||
| -p | Specify the full path to the pid file used to record the active process pid. |
