[Linux-cluster] Fencing Hardware

[isplist at logicore.net]

The blade servers each have three power supplies but I can't turn those off 
since the blades share the power. There might be a jumper on the blade for a 
reset or perhaps cutting off the Ethernet connection, something like that but 
a power cut off would not work.
