There are three pe-inputs for the node start.
First one starts fence device for the other node, dlm+clvm+gfs and drbd 
on the online-back node.
Second one tries to start/promote/move everything else until it is 
interrupted (by the drbd RA?).
Third one finishes that attempt.

And yes, CTDB depends on GFS2 filesystem, so broker-vips:1 can't be 
allocated immediately due to constraints. It is allocated in the second 
pe-input.

May be it is worth sending crm-report to you in order to not overload 
list by long listings and you have complete information?

I meant auto-rebalancing.
