No, you've misunderstood.  You're cluster.conf file should look like this:

        <clusternodes>
                <clusternode name="node1" votes="1">
                        <fence>
                                <method name="1">
                                        <device name="HPiLO_node1"/>
                                </method>
                        </fence>
                </clusternode>
                <clusternode name="node2" votes="1">
                        <fence>
                                <method name="1">
                                        <device name="HPiLO_node2"/>
                                </method>
                        </fence>
                </clusternode>
        </clusternodes>

        <fencedevices>
                <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="10.10.10.1"
login="Administrator" name="HPiLO_node1" passwd="RWE232WE"/>
                <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="10.10.10.2"
login="Administrator" name="HPiLO_node2" passwd="QWD31D4D"/>
        </fencedevices>


Notice that values in <device name="..."/> have been swapped.  If this
doesn't work, my other suggestion was to do:

	node1$ fenced -f 1
	node2$ fenced -f 6

which has nothing to do with the cluster.conf file.
