In most cases (including this one), when you have an order constraint,
you also need a colocation constraint.

colocation = two resources must be run on the same node

order = one resource must be started/stopped/whatever before another

Or you could use a group, which is essentially a shortcut for specifying
colocation and order constraints for any sequence of resources.
