 If you can reliably get the machine to turn off and start up again, 
over the network using only IMPI commands to the BMC, I don't see why it 
won't work. This is 'shoot the other node in the head' style fencing you 
need ? As long as the faultly node get's reliably turned off so it can't 
interfere with the operation of the cluster further, I don't see that 
the actual mechanism matters. Just make sure it always works. You don't 
want a half-dead node in the cluster.
