PM can be implemented by a separate card or come as part of a  BRANDED Server such as HP, IBM or Dell.

Yes you can, ILO is one of the PM devices supported by oVirt

There is no need to set it up, soft-fencing is simply VDSM service restart on the server side and is done always whether you configured PM on the host or not as a first step when you host is not-responding
