Conga should use the node name found in cluster.conf, not the FQDN (or anything else that resolves to the same address the name in cluster.conf does) when calling 'fence_node': if there's any mismatch, 'fence_node' fails immediately.
Note: this doesn't affect normal operation of the cluster. The fence functionality is provided as a convenience. Users also have the option to reboot the node, which should work if fence_node doesn't.
