[Pacemaker] Slave does not get become Master after unplugging power cable at master

[Diego Remolina]

Do you have an entry for:

no-quorum-policy="ignore"

Here is how mine looks for a 2 node master/slave drbd fileserver cluster:

property $id="cib-bootstrap-options" \
         dc-version="1.0.4-6dede86d6105786af3a5321ccf66b44b6914f0aa" \
         cluster-infrastructure="openais" \
         expected-quorum-votes="2" \
         no-quorum-policy="ignore" \
         last-lrm-refresh="1250006912"

On a two node cluster, if one node goes down, there is no quorum, so the 
resources will not be migrated. You need to have this entry so that one 
node can operate on its own. This was happening to my 2 node cluster, I 
would shutdown one node and the second one would not get promoted to 
master, that was until I added the no-quorum-policy=ignore entry.

HTH,
