Just make sure IPMI IP is reachable from all the nodes, but at least with
my Supermicro IPMI I just enter:
Address {ip}
User Name ADMIN
Password {password}
Type ipmilan
I then hit Test and it works great. The only issue I have been having is
that sometimes the Supermicro IPMI IPs are unreachable for some odd reason
and I have to cold reset the IPMI card with the Supermicro IPMI tool.
I hope that in the future ovirt adds more then one fence option for a host
so I could use my APC power strips. Since each server requires a plug on
two strips there is no way to configure this.
