Ken (and Ulrich),

Found it!  You're right, we do deliver a man page...

man]# find . -name *Virtual* -print
./man7/ocf_heartbeat_VirtualDomain.7.gz

# rpm -q
--whatprovides /usr/share/man/man7/ocf_heartbeat_VirtualDomain.7.gz
resource-agents-3.9.7-4.el7_2.kvmibm1_1_3.1.s390x

Much obliged, sir(s).

All distributions that I know of include the man pages with the packages
they distribute. Are you building from source? They are named like "man
ocf_heartbeat_IPaddr2".

FYI after following this thread, the pcs developers are making a change
so that pcs refuses to add an unrecognized operation unless the user
uses --force. Thanks for being involved in the community; this is how we
learn to improve!
