I have HP blades too (ProLiant BL460c Gen9). I have set the fencing to ilo4 and everything works fine.

Nothing special on the ilo side, just up to date firmware.


Also these blades are BL460c Gen9

I'm not the admin of fw of blades, but I can see that the blades have version 2.53 for firmware and version 1.0.9 for their power mgmt controller.
And the enclosures have fw with version 4.60
Did you create a special user for the iLO fencing of the servers (in my case fenceuser)? If so, which kind of privileges did you assign to this user?

I also see that the IPMI settings seem ok:
IPMI/DCMI over LAN Access is enabled 
IPMI/DCMI over LAN Port is the default 623 one

but

fence_ilo4 -a ilo_ip -l fenceuser -S /usr/local/bin/my_fence_script.sh -o status
Failed: Unable to obtain correct plug status or plug is not available

Even if I try -4 and/or -P and/or -L operator and/or -A password
I get the same error
