so do you mean two nodes cluster are not good for production environment
because both will try to  stonith each other in spilit brain??

one more question , why we need to configure stonith in two node cluster. we
can always set no-quorum policy to "suicide"  . As in both case whether we
set stonith or we set no-quorum-policy to suicide  , both node will reset.
 is there any extra benefit of  stonith over "no-quourm-policy=suicide"
which i am missing.
