I think in general it is a bad idea to update the cluster in single
command increments like above. Instead:

1. Get a copy of the current CIB: pcs cluster cib cib.xml

2. Add resources, constraints, etc. to that file by using the regular
command but with the "-f cib.xml" option.

3. Commit the changes atomically to the cluster:
pcs cluster cib-push cib.xml

No need to worry about creating resources in the state "stopped" and
then starting them after some other contraints have been configured.
