Your reply was a bit confusing at first, but looking deeper showed you 
were right on the mark.  The systems (using HP ILO fencing) were unable 
to communicate with each other very well or with the ILO ports at all. 
Turns out some of the ports they were configured on had been moved to a 
different VLAN, so the network was split between the ILOs and the host 
ports.

Configuring the ports properly seems to have resolved the issue, 
everything is working fine now.  I guess I just need to keep the rubber 
hose handy for "discussions" with the network guys! (grin!)

Thanks!
