As said by Ken with Corosync 2 "two_node:1" is definitely the way  to go.
"no-quorum-policy=stop" was what I was suspecting to be the cause
for your undesired behavior. So the deprecated alternative would be
"no-quorum-policy=ignore" for a 2 node cluster (with corosync version
that doesn't support two_node and back in time when quorum was
done by pacemaker directly). Once you've two_node set it actually
shouldn't matter anymore which no-quorum-policy you are using as
corosync will always do as if you had quorum.

Don't they have any remote-management interface like IPMI?

Otherwise you could add sbd with a watchdog configured to your ssh-fencing.
With sbd you can on top use your shared disks - what is name-giving for sbd.
("storage-based death").

Instead of fencing that powers off / reboots the unresponsive machine you
can as well isolate it using the network infrastructure. If this is
desirable
might depend on how you are accessing the shared disks. The fencing
mechanism should probably ensure that the unresponsive node doesn't
mess around with them anymore.
