[Pacemaker] 2 Node Clustering, when primary server goes down(shutdown) the secondary server restarts

[kamal kishi]

Thanks for the info, was trying to configure IPMI in the servers.
Can you please suggest a configuration procedure for enabling and
configuring the IPMI(Which you might have referred to).
The sites I came across are not understandable.
The servers I'm using is DELL POWEREDGE R320
