NAME

       fence_zvm - I/O Fencing agent for GFS on s390 and zSeries VM clusters

SYNOPSIS

       fence_zvm [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       fence_zvm  is  an  I/O  Fencing	agent used on a GFS virtual machine in a s390 or zSeries VM cluster.  It uses the s3270 program to log the
       specified virtual machine out of VM.  For fence_zvm to execute correctly, you must have s3270 in your PATH.

       fence_zvm accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin.  fence_node sends the options through stdin when it execs  the  agent.
       fence_zvm can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.
