As you said if CRM decides a node should be fenced it will be fenced and it
has nothing to do with sbd.  so in this case cluster must need an another
stonith to provide fencing of errant node.  is my understanding is correct.

can you explain a bit more , how CRM decide that a node should be fence ? is
it when node become unreachable.??
