Can you please elaborate on that ? what will not work and why this is related to the ipmilan card ?

Please see http://www.ovirt.org/Custom_Fencing for the exact set of fields in database involved in that.
If you are implementing raritan PM agent , you should have fence_raritan in /usr/sbin of the host that is selected as a proxy for the fencing operation, you should also make sure that this script has similar permissions as other scripts bundled with the fence-agents RPM

You can try to put that in the options field in the UI for the PM agent definition , i.e "port=/system1/outlet1"

Not sure I go you here , please elaborate/explain
