Here is my results after starting ipmi daemon --- ipmi message handler version 39.1 IPMI System Interface driver. ipmi_si: Trying SMBIOS-specified kcs state machine at i/o address 0xca2, slave address 0x20, irq 0 ipmi: Found new BMC (man_id: 0x000157, prod_id: 0x0029, dev_id: 0x20) IPMI kcs interface initialized ipmi device interface -- Does this mean that I can use this IPMI fencing to fence the cluseter nodes? Does this provide functionality smiliar to as using apc or hp power switchs?
