Your two questions
1. That is very false, if you reboot the newly primary system, you'll have
the entire cluster down, that'd be defeating the poing.
2. Server B will take some time to respond, there really isn't any formula,
it depends on your application. Server B will take some time to grab the
disks, network name, and start the DB, you'd be best to test it.
Good luck,
Kevin
