[Linux-cluster] After APC switch was called with fence_node - server stays shut down - what can be modified?

[Alan A]

I went through BIOS settings and could not find anything related to power
loss. I did find the option where server is configured to dynamically
operate in low power mode (but this is probably CPU related) and ASR (Auto
System Recovery) was turned off.
So far nothing else jumped at me out of ordinary.
