... and no sooner do I say that do I find this: 

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en-3/ch-hardware.html#S2-HARDWARE-PWRCTRL

"Important - Use of a power controller is strongly  recommended as part of a
production cluster environment. Configuration of a cluster without a power
controller is not supported."

Sorry! Any recommendations on power controllers to use specifically with 
a 2-node 2850 Dell setup would be great, otherwise no worries. Thanks for
the help, 

Karl
