Which cluster stack is this? I am not familiar with the term "ATB".

If it's a standard pacemaker or cman/rgmanager cluster, then on node
failure, the good node should block and request a fence (a lost node is
not allowed to be assumed gone via self fence, except when using a
watchdog timer based fence agent). If the fence doesn't work, the
survivor should remain blocked (better to hang than risk corruption). If
the fence succeeds, then the survivor node will recover any lost
services based on the configuration of those services (usually a simple
(re)start on the good node).
