Thanks for your important reminder.
Actually they had been "Connected UpToDate/UpToDate", and I subsequently had
all manually demoted to secondary
then down-ed before eventually stopping the (manually started) DRBD service.
Only at the end did I start/configure the cluster.
The problem is now resolved and it seems that my improper use of rhcs_fence as
fence-peer was the culprit (now switched to crm-fence-peer.sh), but I still do
not understand why rhcs_fence was called at all in the beginning (once called,
it may have caused unforeseen consequences, I admit) since DRBD docs clearly
state that communication disruption must be involved in order to call
fence-peer into action.
Many thanks again.

Giuseppe
