hi Fabrizio

yes, we use it. And it works pretty well.
some tips:

- we have an account, cluster, which only has power state priveleges. 
the syntax is as follows (in the HP management shell):
cd /map1/accounts
create username=cluster password=passw0rd group=oemhp_power

- use at least firmware version 1.84

- the Cluster Suite manual is pretty complete w.r.t. setting up the iLO 
as a fence_ilo fencing device in the system-config-cluster GUI. If you 
dont use the GUI, the syntax is
<fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="node1-rac" login="cluster" 
name="node1-rac" passwd="passw0rd"/>

greetings
