Yes. Also, it looks like fencing did not "quietly" complete - since
rgmanager never recovered (failed-over) the service from the dead node.
If a node dies unexpectedly, rgmanager waits until cman has finished
fencing that node before initiating a failover. That's why it was
still reported as 'started' on the dead node in the clustat output.
