Joop, thanks for the info.  That tells me I was not totally off track when I 
was trying the ipmilan driver.

I have firmware 4.21 in my controllers.  I'll have to see about updating that.

One thing I have figured out, this problem would not have been so noticeable, 
except that something is causing host s1 to go "non responsive" every few 
hours.  That provokes a Restart -> Stop -> Status -> Start sequence from the 
fencing system.

I will have to deal with what is causing the "non responsive" condition, but 
first I want to work through the fencing problem.

I tried the ilo2 driver, but the test of that produced even more convulsive 
messages from the computer.
