I'm using iLO2 as my stonith device, which relies on the power of the  
host machine.  When pulling the power cables of the primary node, I've  
observed that the secondary node will attempt to stonith the primary  
node.  This fails because iLO2 also loses power when the host's power  
is cut.  The secondary node will retry indefinitely until stonith  
succeeds, and will not become primary until then.  When I restore  
power to the old primary, it is reset by the secondary, and the  
secondary then proceeds to start resources.
