I'm afraid it is not that simple. One of the resources was marked as failed in 
crm_mon output, but still pacemaker didn't do anything to migrate the 
resource. Manual attempts to stop resources also failed. Only after I invoked 
stonith myself to reboot the failed server, DC also migrate and pacemaker 
started to work again. I hope I will have some time in the afternoon to start 
to debug this.

Cheers,
Bernd
