[Linux-cluster] fence_bladecenter

Hi,

I am using the bladecenter fencing method, and mostly it works fine.
Every now and then (I am still in pre-production testing) it fails.
What happens is this;

* It kills the power for the blade (the blade goes down and power status
in my Management Module is visibly off).
* It does not manage to set power to on again, and the blade stays down.

I read the fence_bladecenter script, and I suspect what is happening is
that it doesn't get the correct status back when it expects to, and thus
fails.

What would be the best way to go about fixing/working around this? It
seems the fence_bladecenter script could be patched to be more robust,
but how would I go about using a patched script without getting it
overwritten by updates?

Regards
