One of my resources failed to stop due to it hitting the timeout setting. The 
resource went into a failed state and froze the cluster until I manually fixed 
the problem. My question is what is pacemaker's default action when it 
encounters a stop failure and STONITH is not enabled? Is it what I saw where 
the resource goes into a failed state and doesn't try to start it anywhere 
until manual intervention or does it continually try to stop it?

The reason I ask is I found the following link which suggests to me that after 
the failure timeout is reached when stopping a resource and STONITH is not 
enabled pacemaker will continually try to stop the resource until it succeeds:

http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.0/html/Pacemaker_Explained/s-failure-migration.html

"If STONITH is not enabled, then the cluster has no way to continue and 
will not try to start the resource elsewhere, but will try to stop it 
again after the failure timeout.
                        "

I am using pacemaker 1.1.5.
