It does not matter if I stop all three services cman, corosync, and pacemaker and then start corosync first and then pacemaker, if I have a cluster.conf file in place, it fails to start.

We need to know more about what exactly you mean by 'failed to start'.
Actual error messages and the command you used to start the cluster
would be appreciated, along with any syslog messages.

pacemaker on RHEL-6 requires cman. if cman is failing to start then
that's a configuration error that we need to look into (and that
cluster.conf you posted is not enough for a valid cluster BTW - you need
fencing in there at least!).

If the cluster starts 'without cman' then I can only assume that
something is very strangely wrong on your system. What command do you
use in this scenario, and what do you class as 'started'? Again
messages, and logs would be helpful in diagnosing what's going on here,

Pacemaker 1.1.11, Corosync 1.4.7, cman 3.0.12,  But if I do not have a cluster.conf file then my cluster does start with my current configuration.   However, when I try to stop the cluster, it wont stop unless I have my cluster.conf file in place.   How can I dump my cib to my cluster.conf file so my cluster will start with the conf file in place?
