We do not have any fencing agents for this storage device.  In order to use
the Dot Hill as the fencing device, it will need an interface to it that will
allow a script or program to disable access of another node in the cluster.
SCSI persistent reservations might do the trick (I'm currently looking into
that possibility now).  If you have a network power switch, you could use
that as the fencing device instead.
