What's the exact error when the machine doesn't come up again after failure? I usually just power down my testmachines by unplugging the psu just to see how it will survive such a condition and I never had such a breakdown yet. You mention CARP? So there is a second machine? Or are you only using the CARP as VIP for the one machine? In case you have a CARP-cluster and sync over the config.xml make sure you don't have build a syncing loop. This way the config.xml is moved from master to backup to master to backup... and it's most likely that you hit a write cycle of the config.xml then when the poweroutage appears. This will end up in a broken config file.
