Think of it like this:

You can have as many nodes in your cluster as you think you need, and I'm 
going to assume that you only need the resources running on one node at any 
given time.

Cluster management (eg: corosync / pacemaker) will ensure that the resources 
are running on *a* node.

The resources will be moved *away* from that node if they can't run there any 
more, for some reason (the node going down is a good reason).

However, there is almost never any concept of the resources being moved *to* a 
(specific) node.  If they get moved away from one node, then obviously they 
need to be moved to another one, but the move happens because the resources 
have to be moved *away* from the first node, not because the cluster thinks 
they need to be moved *to* the second node.

So, if a node is running its resources quite happily, it doesn't matter what 
happens to all the other nodes (provided quorum remains); the resources will 
stay running on that same node all the time.
