ILO3 and ILO4 are mapped implicitly to ipmilan with lanplus flag ON and power_wait=4 
If you change the mapping to use the native scripts its OK as long as it works for you 
addin Marec G to the thread
Marec, should we always map ILO3 & ILO4 to the native scripts (fence_ilo3 , fence_ilo4) and not to ipmilan ???
