With pacemaker 1.1.17+, your best bet is to start pacemakerd on that
particular node in standby mode, which can be achieved with either:

  - running pacemakerd with "-s" (--standby) switch
  
  - modifying /etc/(default|sysconfig)/pacemaker
    (or another file like this per conventions in your
    OS/distribution) so that it effectively declares
    "PCMK_node_start_state=standby" (i.e. such line
    must not be commented out)

Note that the second option is more handy (and likely your only
choice) when you are using higher-level management tool (crm/pcs).

Of course, this needs to be done ahead of time at each such node
to be added.  It may also be wise to comment that line again once
those nodes are ready to start serving right away with subsequent
starts incl. upon reboots.
