Use both ethernets for heartbeats.

Does it support IPMI? In that case you can try either ipmilan or
external/ipmi. There's also bladehpi, but I'm not sure if your
management modules support it (HPI). If you want to try bladehpi,
then you'll need to compile the plugin (it's missing for some
reason from the 2.99 packages).

Thanks,

Dejan
