Look at my previous post to this thread. IMHO unstable is something that 
does not work.

If you want to debug, the best way is to run resource group manager in 
debug mode. So stop it in all machines, and run clurgmgrd -fd  (stay 
forward and debug). Resource agents tries to log as much as is useful 
and you will see everything on output. If you want to run this script 
directly, you will have to setup all environment variables OCF_*.

Default init script for httpd, mysqld, ... will work for you if you have 
only one httpd on your cluster. It is not suitable for running several 
instances on same machine. This is one of the reasons why we need 
resource agents.
