Yes, that's exactly what I have here.

I thank you very much, Jan, but I decided to keep with only a single
fencing method. I think it will be enough to me, anyway.

(My original intention on using nobreak fencing methods was to avoid
cluster to stop due to power cables disconnection on a node, or
something else that cuts off its power completely, what would make iLO
interface unreachable, and the other node won't start the services
because it can't be sure that the other is down. But I realized that
it doesn't make sense, just because it is very unlikely to happen.)
