No, you have used the right options and if they were high enough it should
work. You can try to post verbose (anonymized) output and we can take a
look at it more deeply.

There should not be a fence agent that will do soft reboot. The 'reset'
action does  power off/check status/power on so we are sure that machine
was really down (of course unless --method cycle when 'reboot' button is
used).
