again:

maybe this is because dc-timeout defaults to initdead.
as these are independent values,
you may configure them independently.

	please try and configure an explicit dc-timeout.

and see if that improves things.

ha.cf initdead is for the heartbeat cluster communication layer
and ccm.

dc-timeout can be configured in the cib, using cibadmin, or the crm shell, or ...

you could have initdead of 900,
and dc-timeout of 40 (just an example).

for AIS based clusters, there seem to be no real "initdead",
I think that is why the dc-timeout was changed to default to
the ha.cf initdead setting.

iirc there have been improvements to this startup behaviour in pacemaker
somewhen, but I don't remember the details.
