Sure, except where can I find it? Is there any? I googled and googled 
and nothing except Pacemaker's CLI manual came up ( 
http://www.clusterlabs.org/mediawiki/images/8/8d/Crm_cli.pdf )

Sure that's interface and that's smth, but I really have problem with 
finding some sort of tutorial or book that would explain concepts and 
advanced configuration for CRM and other key pieces of Linux-HA?

I ordered Karl Kopper's "Linux Enterprise Cluster" book -- but if 
there's anything, online or printed, that would explain *in detail* 
advanced configurations like those, please let me know (anybody out there).

Hmm I was thinking rather of 2 different iSCSI targets or NDB devices, 1 
for each resource group -- is switching them possible on failover / 
failback?

Cluster filesystems seem big, complex and have problems with performance:

http://hoston.it/blog/2009/03/19/htaccess-revisited/

Not to mention things like metadata performance (just 1 Lustre metadata 
server for entire fs) and if Lustre metadata server goes on vacation, I 
can kiss entire cluster goodbye..

Anyway, is OCFS2 an answer safety-wise and performance-wise? Suppose I 
wanted to run MySQL instances on this?

Sorry for all these questions but I really need info on such vital 
issues and google is not very helpful this time around..
