... from my experience ... without stonith configured the two nodes will
run happily all resources on their own, concurrently.

With stonith enabled -- nodes wait for successful fencing before
resource takeover -- you should most of the time get two sub-cluster.

They try to fence each other which is (hopefully) not successful because
the network is not available -- and one of your cluster communication
networks should also include the stonith network addresses (assuming you
have network managed fencing devices) ... then once the stonith network
is recovered fencing might happen or the two-node-cluster reforms ...
some sort of a race

Worst case: stonith network is working but not used for cluster
communication -- you get a nice stonith death match and the nodes
happily kill each other ... again and again ... except you don't start
cluster services on bootup or detect reboot cycles ...

Regards,
Andreas
