Noooo.  Not on RHEL-6 anyway.
Before I address the rest of your email, you need to be using pacemaker with cman (cluster.conf) as described at:

   http://clusterlabs.org/quickstart-redhat.html

and:

   https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Configuring_the_Red_Hat_High_Availability_Add-On_with_Pacemaker/ch-clusteradmin-HAAR.html

If you're still having issues after reading one or more of those, we'll be only too happy to help :)
