[ovirt-users] Help with Power Management network

[Dan Yasny]

The power management command is sent by the engine via a proxy host. That
means you need at least one more host to act as proxy. The engine itself
doesn't need to access the bmc network directly. Just like the engine needs
no access to the atorage network to perform storage manipulations.

I think in some recent versions fencing by the engine was introduced, but I
don't have a setup in front of me to verify.
