When a node is to be fenced, the <device> blocks within the <method>
tags are processed in order. If no 'option' attribute is specified, the
default action is to issue a power off, then a power on. When a node has
redundant power supplies, it's necessary to power them all off before
powering any back on, or the machine will never lose power, defeating
the point of trying to fencing it. So if you're using power fencing and
you have N power supplies for a node, you'll end up with N*2 <device>
blocks in the fence method block for that node; the first N/2 having
attribute 'option' set to off, and the last N/2 having the attribute
'option' set to on.
