Arthur,

You need to setup a node preference for auto-failback of a resource.
Also, when a node in a 2 node cluster fails you lose quorum and the cluster cannot function unless there is quorum.
It is highly recommended that you add a third node for quorum/voting to prevent a "split brain" situation.
(Especially if you have a possibity of data corruption.)

If this is not possible you have to set the no-quorum-policy to ignore to enable the cluster to continue functioning if quorum is lost.
"crm configure property no-quorum-policy=ignore"

You should also configure fencing devices like an APC powerswitch (preffered way) or e.g. an IPMI device (almost all servers support this)
