Pretty much all brocade switches are supported by the (included)
fence_brocade agent.

I think so. We have a fence_sanbox2 agent... not sure about all the
models it supports - perhaps all, perhaps one. Help, anyone?

Yes, but it will require manual intervention every time you have (or

If you had a third machine, you could use GNBD. The GNBD server would

turn your third box into a iSCSI-like device which has built in I/O
fencing support.
