Description of problem: Current release and CVS lack a fencing agent for Dell 1855 blade enclosures. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Buy a bunch of 1855 blades. 2. Search for a fencing agent. 3. Discover that DRAC/MCs don't support 'racadm', and therefore don't work with fence_drac. Actual results: Wrote my own. Here it is Expected results: Now there's a fencing agent for Dell 1855 blades. Additional info: Fence seems to expect some output on either STDOUT or STDERR that I'm not producing, but this agent does work. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post a fix for that problem in a week or two, when I have time.

Comment on attachment 111776 [details] Fencing agent for Dell 1855 blade DRAC/MC This patch (attachment #111776 [details]) is risky because it doesn't wait to make sure that the blade is ever powered off before returning a successful return code.
