You need to provide different paths for the heartbeat and
connection to the ipmi devices.

Also, make your power supply resilient: if a node loses power,
the ipmi device will be dead too, and your cluster will wait
forever for the fencing to succeed.

I think that people use ipmi with proliants.

Thanks,
