If i understood a little, the fence_ipmilan fencing agent is the one I'd use in my pacemaker config and this fencing agent would call "ipmitool" or some other similar command.

You didn't say what device you are trying to use. On Dell servers, for example, you can't call your own iDRAC controller if it's network interface is shared with LAN interface.
Also, new models use IPMI 2.0 which requires lanplus interface.
