Good points. At the moment this is a lab environment so it is not crucial,
but I'll take in mind for production use.

One point: after doing some tests and creating failures of nodes for test I
see this behaviour about the special fencing resource

normal behaviour
[root at srvmgmt02 ~]# crm_mon -1
...
[snip]
 fence_srvmgmt01    (stonith:fence_intelmodular):    Started
srvmgmt01.localdomain.local
 fence_srvmgmt02    (stonith:fence_intelmodular):    Started
srvmgmt02.localdomain.local

after fencing of srvmgmt01 (because of drbd problem deliberately produced
by me on it)
[root at srvmgmt02 ~]# crm_mon -1
...
[snip]
 fence_srvmgmt01    (stonith:fence_intelmodular):    Started
srvmgmt02.localdomain.local
 fence_srvmgmt02    (stonith:fence_intelmodular):    Started
srvmgmt02.localdomain.local

and the output above remains true while srvmgmt01 is rebooting but also
after it has completed startup and joins the cluster.
So I presume I have to set an location constraint rule so that it can only
run on its node, correct?

something llike
pcs constraint location fence_srvmgmt01 prefers
srvmgmt01.localdomain.local=INFINITY
pcs constraint location fence_srvmgmt02 prefers
srvmgmt02.localdomain.local=INFINITY
