​I haven't seen this hardware, but generally there are 2 possibilities:

1. Withing your SuperBlade management you need to specify unique IP address
for IPMI interface of each host

2. If 1. is not possible, but you have other identification of a host, then
you can try to pass that value using '-n' option on command line or
'plug=XXX' in Options field of a Fence Agent in webadmin

​According to [1] those servers should support IPMI, so you could try
ipmilan fence agent and most probably try to add lanplus=1 into Options
field of an agent. If it doesn't work as expected, could you please try to
execute below commands and share the output?

fence_ipmilan -a  -l  -p  -P -vvv
-o status

Thanks
