[Pacemaker] chicken-egg-problem with libvirtd and a VM within cluster

Hi all,
I have a 2-node-cluster running DRBD, libvirtd and a virtual machine.
I observed that when I stop and start corosync on one of the nodes, pacemaker
(when starting corosync again) wants to check the status of the vm before
starting libvirtd. This check fails as libvirtd needs to be running for this
check. After trying for 20s libvirtd starts. The vm gets restarted after those
20s and then runs on one of the nodes. I am left with a monitoring-error to
cleanup and my vm has rebooted.
One solution seems to be to run libvirtd outside the cluster, being managed by
the OS.
I followed the ha-kvm.pdf guide and other peoples advise with my setup and
wonder if either the guide is wrong / untested or if I'm missing something?
This was also discussed with some of the folks on #linux-ha a couple of hours
back.
warm regards,
Tom
