[Linux-HA] Failover not working as I expected

Forgive my noobness as I am new to the HA product.

Here is my ha.cf.

logfacility     daemon
keepalive 1
deadtime 10
warntime 5
initdead 30
udpport 694
ping 10.50.254.254
bcast eth1
auto_failback off
autojoin any
use_logd yes
compression     bz2
compression_threshold 2
crm yes

Here is my situation.  I am currently trying to create an ActivePassive configuration.  In doing so, I followed the link below.

http://linux-ha.org/GettingStartedV2/OneIPAddress

I am running heartbeat-2.1.3-1 and I have attached my cib.xml.

The name of the servers are as follows:  Nomen and Rubric.  

Let us start when Nomen owns all resources and its status states "running(dc)".  When I stop heartbeat on Nomen, Rubric takes over all the resources and its status turns into "running(dc)".  This is good as this is what I had hoped that it will do.

When I start heartbeat back on Nomen, it takes all the resource away from Rubric.  However, it leaves Rubric in "running(dc)" status and Nomen's status just states "running".  There are two issues here that I see.

1)  I do not want Nomen to take the resources as this means that the resources will be bounced.
2)  I would like to have the Quorum or "running(dc)" where the resources are.

To continue, when I stop heartbeat on Rubric, the "running(dc)" status goes over to Nomen. I then start heartbeat in Rubric and all resources as well as the "running(dc)" stays with Nomen.  Moreover, the resources are not bounced at all.

Help.  Please.

Regards,
Jerome
