[Pacemaker] Pacemaker cluster with different operating systems

[Osman Findik]

Hi Andrew,
Yes, I added "pcmk" file under "/etc/corosync/service.d/" folder.
Since you think the setup should work, here are the details of the problem.
Could you please check for any problem? I hope I have given enough information about the setup and problem.

It should be.
You're using the pacemaker plugin for corosync?
