further problems.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of my post-failover cluster state is because I
haven't implemented fencing yet. They're VMs running on a Proxmox instance
and I was hoping to get a proof of concept of fail over working before I
implemented STONITH. I'm mostly figuring out how to recover cluster state
at the moment.

and delete the no-quorum-policy=ignore setting in Pacemaker. It won't
make a huge difference, but corosync 2 can handle it better now.

I'll look into doing this. I am running Corosync 2 and Pacemaker 1.1.10 as
per what is provided via Ubuntu 14.04's repositories.

node into standby mode first, then stop pacemaker.

Yeah, figured this out later. I had a higher success rate with failing over
resources.

Right now it's just so difficult to get the cluster back to two online
nodes with one node running resources. I've tried a ground zero approach
where I kill every process and every service Pacemaker is supposed to
handle and then start up everything again. I've tried clearing node state
and this and that but I get a lot of NODE: OFFLINE and crmd refusing to
stop itself. There are a lot of tutorials around getting stuff running but
not a lot of guides on when your cluster is fubar.

Thanks so much for your advice.
