[Linux-cluster] Can a 2-node Cluster boot-up with only one active node?

Hello all,

Sorry for asking this basic question, I've checked the Cluster FAQ and did 
not find anything related to this.

I have set up a 2-node Cluster, with quorum/qdiskd configured, and 
everything goes fine.

But in the case where I need to shut down the whole cluster, and then for 
some reason I can boot up only one of the nodes, it does not come up, 
staying always at the "Inquorate" status.

What is the correct behaviour? Shouldn't my Cluster come up because I have 
two votes active? In this case each node counts one vote in the cluster, and 
the quorum counts another one.

By the way, I'm setting up qdiskd with no heuristics at all, I have no 
"pingable" router in this network.

Here is the relevant parts of the cluster.conf file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster config_version="9" name="clu_NAME">
	<quorumd log_facility="local6" device="/dev/emcpowere1" interval="1" 
min_score="0" tko="10" votes="1"/>
	<fence_daemon post_fail_delay="10" post_join_delay="3"/>
	<clusternodes>
		<clusternode name="node1" votes="1">
			<fence>
				<method name="1">
					<device lanplus="" name="node1-ipmi"/>
				</method>
			</fence>
		</clusternode>
		<clusternode name="node2" votes="1">
			<fence>
				<method name="1">
					<device lanplus="" name="node2-ipmi"/>
				</method>
			</fence>
		</clusternode>
	</clusternodes>
	<cman/>
	<fencedevices>
		<fencedevice agent="fence_ipmilan" auth="none" ipaddr="node1-ipmi" 
login="root" name="node1-ipmi" passwd="PASS"/>
		<fencedevice agent="fence_ipmilan" auth="none" ipaddr="node2-ipmi" 
login="root" name="node2-ipmi" passwd="PASS"/>
	</fencedevices>
	<rm log_facility="local6">
...
	</rm>
</cluster>
