With corosync 2.2 (2.1 too, I guess) you can use, in corosync.conf:
quorum {
provider: corosync_votequorum
expected_votes: 2
two_node: 1
}
Corosync will then manage quorum for the two-node cluster and Pacemaker
can use that. You still need proper fencing to enforce the quorum (both
for pacemaker and the storage layer – dlm in case you use clvmd), but no
extra quorum node is needed.
There is one more thing, though: you need two nodes active to boot the
cluster, but then when one fails (and is fenced) the other may continue,
keeping quorum.
