That was a generic bmc-watchdog description.  As for whether it works on
the DL360, I don't know.  HP obviously has to implement their side of
the equation correctly (and to be fair, it's always possible there's a
bug in my side too).  I had to iterate with some Sun people a few times
b/c they had a bug in their firmware a few years ago (which is since
fixed).
