Thank you all for the responses. I shall try to answer your questions here. But I found the problem, I think. I mean, I made this change and now the cluster will start when only one node is booted! The drbd service was enabled. Once I disabled it the cluster would start at boot with only one node. I took another look through the output of journalctl -b. I saw this and it made me test it: systemd[1]: Starting DRBD -- please disable. Unless you are NOT using a cluster manager.... @Klaus - the systemd configuration files showed 2 dependencies before pacemaker could start. one was corosync. The other was a "resource-agents-deps.target", which I could not find. It looked like an option an admin could add. I'm the admin and I didn't add any. However, this maybe related in someway to pacemaker's relationship to drbd??? @Ulrich - the actual pacemaker service was not running. @Tomas & Andrei - jounrnalctl did provide the clue. Now, can anyone explain why drbd being enabled might keep pacemaker from starting? Would you still care to see the journalctl output? Maybe edited to where systemd starts its logging?
