DESCRIPTION

10       fence_virtd  is  a  host  daemon designed to route fencing requests for
11       virtual machines.
12
13       Fence_virt and fence_xvm talk to fence_virtd, which  supports  multiple
14       backend plugins, including:
15        - libvirt for single-node operation
16        - Cluster Checkpoints when using Linux-cluster release 3.0.0 or later
17        - libvirt-qpid for multi-node, non-cluster operation
18
19       For  compatibility,  fence_xvm from linux-cluster release 2 may talk to
20       fence_virtd.

23       fence_virtd accepts a few options on the command line, but most options
24       are read from fence_virt.conf.
