If you don't want clumanager to attempt to rejoin the cluster, chkconfig
--del it.  If you want it to attempt to rejoin, chkconfig --add it.

It's your choice.

Many failures which cause a node to be kicked out are temporary (ex:
kernel panic), and can be recovered from after a power-cycle.

Many hardware failures (ex: motherboard catching fire, hard disk crash)
generally (but *not* always) prevent the node from ever getting far
enough to rejoin the cluster.
