Hi Dominik,
 I have already done that set up for ssh keys and able to login/ssh from
VM1 to VM2 and vice versa but still problem exists and also I tried
stonith xen0
in place of external/ ssh but no effects...

 Thanks,
-Mujtaba

ssh stonith is just meant for testing and not supported or suggested for
any kind of production use.

Whether the node is a VM or not and whether VMs are on the same host
should not matter. Are you able to login from VM1 to VM2 and vice versa?
Iirc, you need to setup ssh keys for root in order for ssh stonith to
work.
