HELP!! HOW TO USE BMC OF PE2850 AS FENCE DEVICE FOR REDHAT CLUSTER MANAGEMENT SUITE 3.0

[Nick Baronian]

I can't answer for sure, I use an APC device with a serial cable for
fencing but could it mean serial port not TCP port, like with some
dongle or something?  If not maybe standard snmp port 161.
