Yes. Just create more stonith resources. The same as with only one. On a stonith operation (node reset), they will be tried in a round-robin fashion until one succeeds. > I have currently the ssh one which works but today I had a weird issue I > am going to post another message about. ssh is not for production environments, just for testing. > One of my VMs got the system in a state where ssh STONITH failed.

There's an advantage to _not_ shuting down a node in an orderly manner. stonith is used in emergencies, i.e. when something failed unexpectedly. In such a case, it's prudent to assume that the node may not be able to shutdown in a normal way.
