Unless you have modified the fence_bladecenter agent, it is unable to
make an ssh connection. It tries to use telnet.

There are open tickets against the agent right now, asking for ssh
support, and in fact I worked on this during the current development
cycle, but it will not make it into the next update release due to perl
module dependencies. After we are through the current crunch, the ssh
versions of 4 popular fence agents (including fence_bladecenter) will be
made available for testing if you are willing to install the necessary
perl modules yourself. In the meanwhile, we will be working to have the
necessary deps included in a future update.

Sorry this does not help you immediately.  If the network that you are
fencing on is secure, why not try telnet?
