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        -  Corosync  CPG and libvirt when using Linux-cluster release 3.0.0 or
17       later
18        - libvirt-qpid for multi-node, non-cluster operation
19
20       For compatibility, fence_xvm from linux-cluster release 2 may  talk  to
21       fence_virtd.

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