The problem is that, if you enable cman on boot, the fenced node will

starts cman, tries to connect, fenced it's peer...

The easiest way to avoid this in 2-node clusters is to not let
cman/rgmanager start automatically. That way, if a node is fenced, it
will boot back up and you can log into remotely (assuming it's not
totally dead). When you know things are fixed, manually start cman.

I my case however, the node which is trying to join is fully operational
and has network access. Also if you look at the configuration that I had
in my original email, my post_join_delay is 360 (for testing purposes),
so there is no way that a timeout occurs.

I might be wrong here, but judging from corosync's log file, the other
node even joins the cluster successfully, before being marked for
fencing by dlm_controld:

Setting post_join_delay to 360 will buy you 6 minutes from the start of cman until the fence occurs.

That log message does show the node joining. Can you reliably reproduce this? If so, can you please 'tail -f -n 0 /var/log/messages' on both nodes, break the cluster and wait for the node to restart, 'tail' the rebooted node's /var/log/messages, wait the six minutes and then, after the second fence occurs, post both node's logs?
