I don't see how that's in any way relevant to Dirk's question. Pacemaker
on SLE may not support cman, but it definitely supports quorum via
Corosync, and it most definitely supports fencing.

Either I am grossly misunderstanding what you mean, or this is untrue. I
can't see how node fencing would be directly affected by any of those,
really.

Really? Last I checked IPaddr2 did not do any network connectivity
monitoring (unless reporting failure if someone unloaded the driver
module counts as "connectivity monitoring"). ethmonitor and ping do.
