From my experience I recommend not to use the GUI. It never did the job
for me (specially not creating a configuration).

From your description I assume you have timing problems. Keep in mind that
cluster node startups really generate a load on the HA system. Each resource
is probed (basically it runs a 'monitor' operation on each resource on each 
cluster  node).

So if you have 2 nodes with 40 resources a node startup ---> 80 monitor actions 
initiated ---> 80 responses ---> 80 changes in the CIB --> 80 redistributions 
(not to mention the engine calulcating your failove-rules for all the 
resources).

Did you write Resource Agents on your own? Or do you use only the standard
HA RA?

Are you using clones?

You see ... attaching the CIB as attachment would help ;-)

Well you could attach the CIB (bzip2 is your friend). Without it no one can 
help 
here. So we can see which resource failed and maybe where the problem in
your configuration is.
