Hello Ken,

thank you for the answers.

I'm using shorewall on the lb01/lb02 nodes and firewalld on kvm01.

pcs status
Cluster name: lbcluster
Stack: corosync
Current DC: lb01 (version 1.1.16-1.fc25-94ff4df) - partition with quorum
Last updated: Mon Jan 16 16:46:52 2017
Last change: Mon Jan 16 15:07:59 2017 by root via cibadmin on lb01

3 nodes configured
40 resources configured

Online: [ kvm01 lb01 lb02 ]

Full list of resources:
...

Daemon Status:
   corosync: active/enabled
   pacemaker: active/enabled
   pcsd: inactive/disabled

BTW: I'm not running pcsd, as far as I know it is for UI configuration 
only So ports ports 2224 (pcsd), 3121 (Pacemaker Remote), and 21064 
(DLM) are closed. Shouldn't be a problem, right?

Only lb01 and lb02 are on the same network, kvm01 is on a different 
location and network therefore.

I had it when I rebooted just one node.

Testing scenarios are:
*) Rebooting
*) Starting/stopping corosync
*) network down simulation on lb01/lb02
*) putting an interface down with ifconfig eth1:1 down (simulation of 
loosing an IP address)
*) see also below

Tested now again with all nodes up (I've configured 13 ip adresses for 
the sake of getting a faster overview I posted only the config for 2 ip 
adresses):
No automatic recovery happens.
e.g. ifconfig eth1:1 down
  Resource Group: ClusterNetworking
      ClusterIP_01       (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       FAILED lb02
      ClusterIPRoute_01  (ocf::heartbeat:Route): FAILED lb02
      ClusterIPRule_01   (ocf::heartbeat:Iprule):        Started lb02
      ClusterIP_02       (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       FAILED lb02
      ClusterIPRoute_02  (ocf::heartbeat:Route): FAILED lb02 (blocked)
      ClusterIPRule_02   (ocf::heartbeat:Iprule):        Stopped
      ClusterIP_03       (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       Stopped
      ClusterIPRoute_03  (ocf::heartbeat:Route): Stopped
      ClusterIPRule_03   (ocf::heartbeat:Iprule):        Stopped
...
      ClusterIP_13       (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       Stopped
      ClusterIPRoute_13  (ocf::heartbeat:Route): Stopped
      ClusterIPRule_13   (ocf::heartbeat:Iprule):        Stopped
  webserver      (ocf::heartbeat:nginx): Stopped


Failed Actions:

     last-rc-change='Mon Jan 16 16:54:01 2017', queued=0ms, exec=0ms

Only this helps:
killall -9 corosync;systemctl restart corosync;systemctl restart pacemaker

================================================================================================================================================================
also had now on a test:
Failed Actions:
* webserver_start_0 on lb02 'not configured' (6): call=499, 
status=complete, exitreason='none',
     last-rc-change='Mon Jan 16 17:04:13 2017', queued=0ms, exec=4120ms

Why is it not configured now?

killall -9 corosync;systemctl restart corosync;systemctl restart pacemaker
got to the next situation below where some of them are FAILED and 
blocked on lb02 and cluster didn't start up (why is it started on 
different clusters anyway???)

      ClusterIP_05       (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       Started lb01
      ClusterIPRoute_05  (ocf::heartbeat:Route): Started lb01
      ClusterIPRule_05   (ocf::heartbeat:Iprule):        Started lb01
      ClusterIP_06       (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       Started lb01
      ClusterIPRoute_06  (ocf::heartbeat:Route): FAILED lb02 (blocked)
      ClusterIPRule_06   (ocf::heartbeat:Iprule):        Stopped
      ClusterIP_07       (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       Stopped

Is my config OK? I'm not using any clones ...

OK, can you reproduce it?

Yes I'm blocking both incoming and outgoing:
?IF 1
CORO1(ACCEPT)    net             $FW
CORO1(ACCEPT)    $FW             net
CORO2(ACCEPT)    net             $FW
CORO2(ACCEPT)    $FW             net
CORO3(ACCEPT)    net             $FW
CORO3(ACCEPT)    $FW             net
?ELSE
CORO1(DROP)      net             $FW
CORO1(DROP)      $FW             net
CORO2(DROP)      net             $FW
CORO2(DROP)      $FW             net
CORO3(DROP)      net             $FW
CORO3(DROP)      $FW             net
?ENDIF

Where CORO1-CORO3 are macros for ports 5404, 5405, 5406.

I'm aware of that, I can add this later on.
