You need a power switch to ensure that I/Os on the dead node don't make
it to shared storage after the surviving node recovers the services.
You can run RHCS3 without a power switch, in which case, the cluster
becomes extremely paranoid (where the slightest twitch causes nodes to
reboot themselves!).
I'd check out http://www.wti.com - most of their networked power
switches (NPS, TPS, IPS, and NBB series) are covered by RHCS3's STONITH
code.
