[Linux-cluster] virtualized guest failback

Hi,
I have working failover of virtualized guest. could someone give me hint 
how to configure the vm failover to failback after recovery? eg. vm_A 
runs xen01, xen01 fails, so xen02 takes over the vm_A, after xen01 is up 
again, the vm_A is migrated back to xen01.

I have already tried many config combinations, but without success - the 
vm_A always stays on the failover host.

my expected config (which still doesn't work) is:

  <rm>
     <failoverdomains>
       <failoverdomain name="xen01" restricted="1" ordered="1">
         <failoverdomainnode name="xen01.localdom" priority="2"/>
         <failoverdomainnode name="xen02.localdom" priority="1"/>
       </failoverdomain>
       <failoverdomain name="xen02" restricted="1" ordered="1">
         <failoverdomainnode name="xen01.localdom" priority="1"/>
         <failoverdomainnode name="xen02.localdom" priority="2"/>
       </failoverdomain>
     </failoverdomains>
     <resources/>

     <vm autostart="1" domain="xen01" exclusive="0" migrate="live" 
name="vm_A" path="/etc/xen/vm" recovery="relocate"/>
     <vm autostart="1" domain="xen02" exclusive="0" migrate="live" 
name="vm_B" path="/etc/xen/vm" recovery="relocate"/>
   </rm>

any hints? thanks stepan
