Yes, that is default behaviour ... Pacemaker tries to stop, that fails
so it must assume (worst case) it is still running, now STONITH would
trigger to make sure the node including the resource is definitely down
... without STONITH it stays unmanaged until cleared.

e.g. stop failures ;-)

First attempt should be to fix your application. There is also the
"failure-timeout" resource meta-attribute ... in combination with the
cluster-recheck-interval cluster property, this clears resource failures
on a regular base.
