Hello,

If I understand correctly, fencing topology is the way to have several
fencing devices for a node and try them consecutively until one works.

In my configuration, I group the VM stonith agents with the
corresponding VM resource, to make them move together[1].

Here is my use case:

1. Resource ONE-Frontend-Group runs on nebula1
2. nebula1 is fenced
3. node one-fronted can not be fenced

Is there a way to say that the life on node one-frontend is related to
the state of resource ONE-Frontend?

In which case when the node nebula1 is fenced, pacemaker should be aware that
resource ONE-Frontend is not running any more, so node one-frontend is
OFFLINE and not UNCLEAN.

Regards.
