I swear I had this working the other day.  I'm still struggling with
this, apparently.  I've set the default stonith-action to off:

[root at storage1 ~]# pcs config | grep -i stonith-action
 stonith-action: off

[root at storage1 ~]# pcs config | grep -i stonith-enabled
  stonith-enabled: true

But when I run "pcs stonith fence storage2" (from my storage1 node, the
fabric ports are getting sucessfully disabled, and then re-enabled:

Here are the logs that show stonith-ng issuing "off" commands
(successfully), and then following up with "on" commands:

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  I'd be happy to provide more mogs, if
desired.

Thanks!
